Autopsy Results Released After Death of Liam Payne
Buenos Aires, Argentina – Liam Payne, the former One Direction member, tragically lost his life on Wednesday after falling from the balcony of his hotel room in Buenos Aires. He was 31 years old.
The Buenos Aires police reported discovering Payne’s hotel room in a state of disarray, with prescription medication, including clonazepam, and other drugs scattered throughout.
Additionally, a whiskey bottle, lighter, and cellphone were recovered from the courtyard where his body was found.
The Argentine public prosecutor’s office stated that Payne sustained “a series of traumatic injuries and internal bleeding” from the fall. While the exact cause of death is still being investigated, authorities are treating the case as a “suspicious death.”
Evidence suggests that Payne “was going through some kind of substance abuse outbreak” at the time of the incident, and all reports indicate he was alone in his room.
Medical examiners identified 25 injuries on Payne’s body, suggesting that he “did not adopt a reflexive posture to protect himself and that he could have fallen into a state of semi- or total unconsciousness.”
Police responded to an emergency call regarding an “aggressive man who could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol” shortly after 5:00 PM local time.
A hotel manager described Payne as “overwhelmed with drugs and alcohol” and reported that he was “destroying the entire room.”
Authorities confirmed that Payne had “jumped from the balcony of his room,” but did not provide further details regarding whether the jump was intentional.
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.
