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.

A 23-year-old Syrian man attacked several pedestrians with a knife in Villach on Saturday afternoon. A 14-year-old boy was killed, and four others were injured, two of them seriously. Just as the last wounds begin to heal, Austria is struck by yet another brutal act. An innocent life taken, families left in agony.

Villach, Austria – A 23-year-old man went on a stabbing spree in the southern Austrian city of Villach on Saturday afternoon, fatally wounding a 14-year-old boy and injuring four others before being detained by authorities, police confirmed.

According to Austrian police, the suspect—a Syrian national with legal residence in Austria—attacked five passersby in an unprovoked assault in the city’s downtown area.

The victims, all male and between the ages of 14 and 32, sustained varying degrees of injuries.

A 42-year-old man, who was driving past the scene, intervened by using his vehicle to block the suspect’s movement, helping to prevent further harm, police spokesperson Rainer Dionisio told Austria’s public broadcaster ORF.

Despite efforts by emergency responders, the 14-year-old victim succumbed to his injuries, while two others sustained serious wounds, and two suffered minor injuries.

Law enforcement has yet to establish a clear motive behind the attack and is actively investigating the suspect’s background and potential connections.

“We have to wait until we get secure information,” Dionisio stated.

Authorities have not ruled out the possibility of additional suspects and are continuing their search for any potential accomplices.

The stabbing spree has left the residents of Villach in shock, with local officials expressing deep concern over the incident.

Carinthia Governor Peter Kaiser extended his condolences to the family of the teenage victim, calling the attack “an outrageous atrocity that must be met with harsh consequences.”
