Liam Payne has tragically passed away following a fall from his hotel balcony in Argentina, as reported by TMZ.
The ex-One Direction member tragically died on Wednesday night. Multiple onlookers at the Buenos Aires hotel where he was residing reported that Liam fell from his room located on the 4th floor of CasaSur Palermo Hotel. It remains unclear whether the incident was deliberate or accidental.
TMZ has acquired a photograph depicting Liam on a wooden terrace at the hotel, surrounded by tables and chairs. While we won’t display the entire image, his tattoos are quite visible – a clock on his left forearm and a scorpion inked on his abdomen.
Liam had traveled to Argentina for a Niall Horan concert earlier this month, where he was able to reunite with his fellow One Direction bandmates.

Liam was merely 16 years old when he became a member of One Direction, and the band ascended to unprecedented heights to become the world’s leading boy band following their inception in 2010.

The band culminated its journey in 2015, with him being acknowledged as one of their key contributors to songwriting.
As previously mentioned, Liam disclosed in June 2021 his battles with alcohol and prescription medication dependencies during One Direction’s tours, sharing that he experienced “severe” suicidal ideations during that time.
Recently, there were allegations from Liam’s former fiancée, Maya Henry, claiming he abandoned her after suggesting she undergo an abortion. Her legal representation has been attempting to send him a cease and desist notice to prevent any further contact.
At this moment, it remains uncertain whether this situation influenced his unusual actions while at the hotel.
