31-Year-Old Liam Payne Dead: Fell from Hotel Balcony, Suspected to Be Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs
Sources reveal that Liam Payne and his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, arrived in Argentina on September 30, sharing several posts of their vacation on social media.
While Cassidy left Argentina on October 14, Payne stayed behind and checked into the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires.
Tragedy struck shortly after, as Liam Payne died following a fall from the third-floor balcony of his hotel.
Authorities responded after receiving a 911 call from hotel staff reporting an “aggressive” male guest.
Witnesses in the hotel lobby described Payne’s erratic behavior, and it was suspected he was under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
A staff member expressed concern, saying, “We have a guest who’s off his head on drugs and is destroying everything in his room,” and feared he might harm himself due to the presence of a balcony.
Despite attempts to get urgent assistance, Payne tragically fell moments later.
Payne was found in the hotel’s internal courtyard, having suffered fatal injuries from the fall, estimated to be from 13 to 40 meters.
Emergency responders arrived at 5:11 p.m., but by the time they reached Payne, he had already succumbed to the severe injuries, described as “incompatible with life.”
Alberto Crescenti, head of the local emergency medical services, confirmed there was no possibility of resuscitation.
Local police have opened an investigation, and an autopsy is underway to determine the precise cause of death.
This tragic event has shocked fans and the public, especially given Payne’s significant presence as a former member of One Direction.
Tokyo, Japan – Voice actress and live streamer Mogami Ai was brutally stabbed to death while broadcasting live on the Japanese streaming platform ふわっち (Whowatch) in Shinjuku, Tokyo.
Authorities have arrested a male suspect at the scene, who allegedly carried out the attack while the livestream continued to broadcast to viewers.
According to reports, Mogami was in the midst of a 企画 (planned broadcast) where she attempted to walk around the entire Yamanote Line, a popular train loop in Tokyo.
During the stream, viewers suddenly heard a chilling scream—”Kyaa! Help me!”—which continued for nearly a minute before abruptly stopping.
Shortly after, a bloodied individual appeared on-screen. The attacker, still holding a knife, then turned the smartphone camera toward himself, revealing his face to the livestream audience.
The comment section was immediately flooded with shocked reactions, with many viewers questioning if this was a random attack.
Instead of stopping the broadcast, the suspect continued filming the fallen Mogami as she lay motionless on the ground.
A passerby, witnessing the horrific scene, intervened and shouted, “What are you doing?!” Moments later, police arrived at the scene and confronted the suspect.
“Did you do this?” an officer asked.
“I did it,” the man responded calmly, still holding the weapon.
Police immediately took the suspect into custody, officially declaring him under arrest.
Officers then checked Mogami’s condition and confirmed, “No breathing.”
As a crowd gathered around the scene, their shocked voices could be heard in the background of the livestream, which remained active for a significant amount of time before eventually being cut off.
Authorities have not yet released further details about the suspect’s identity or motive, though initial reports suggest he may have been an anti-fan of Mogami.
Investigations are currently ongoing.
