Former One Direction member dies under mysterious circumstances: what message he left before the tragedy and what the police know

Liam Payne, a former member of the world-famous One Direction band, died on the night of October 16 as a result of a fall from the third floor. At the time, the 31-year-old singer was staying at a hotel in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina.

According to the BBC, citing statements by the Buenos Aires police, law enforcement officers first responded to reports of "an aggressive man who may have been under the influence of drugs and alcohol." Upon arrival, the hotel staff noted that a loud sound was heard in the courtyard. Soon, the body of Liam Payne was found there.

A man suffered life-threatening injuries after falling from a 13-meter height. The source notes that the director of the emergency medical service, Alberto Crescenti, refused to answer questions about the circumstances of the incident.

A few hours before his death, the artist published a post on Snapchat, where he wrote: "Beautiful day in Argentina." Two weeks ago, British Liam Payne attended a concert of former One Direction member Niall Horan in Argentina.

Almost immediately after the news of the singer's death, fans of the band gathered outside the hotel. They expressed their condolences and lit candles.

"This is the only way to say goodbye to him," said one woman, according to the BBC.

Another fan explained the reason why she decided to come to the scene of the incident: "I was in my living room and my sister told me that Liam had died. We couldn't believe it. We came here to make sure it was true."
