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.
