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.
