Liam Payne has tragically passed away after falling from his hotel balcony in Argentina, according to reports from TMZ.
The former One Direction star lost his life on Wednesday night. Witnesses at the Buenos Aires hotel confirmed that Liam fell from his third-floor room at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel. It remains unclear whether the fall was accidental or deliberate.
TMZ has acquired a photograph depicting Liam’s body on a wooden deck outside the hotel, surrounded by tables and chairs. While the entire body is not visible, his distinct tattoos are clearly discernible — a clock on his left forearm and a scorpion on his stomach.
Authorities and emergency responders are currently present at the hotel, placing a red tent over the body as they initiate their investigation regarding Liam’s untimely demise.

Liam had traveled to Argentina earlier this month to attend a Niall Horan concert, where the 1D members had a reunion during the performance.
Liam was merely 16 years old when he joined One Direction, and the group skyrocketed to global fame after their emergence on “The X Factor” in 2010. The band ultimately disbanded in 2015, with Liam being recognized as one of their prominent songwriters.
As highlighted in our previous report, Liam disclosed in June 2021 about his battles with alcohol and prescription drug dependencies when One Direction was on the road. The situation escalated to the point where he experienced “profound” suicidal ideations.
This past week, reports emerged regarding Liam’s former fiancée, Maya Henry, claiming he left her after she was asked to terminate her pregnancy. Her legal representatives have been attempting to serve him with a cease-and-desist notice to halt any further communication.
At this moment, it remains uncertain whether this incident triggered his unpredictable actions at the hotel.
