Liam Payne, a former member of the pop group One Direction, has passed away after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Argentina.

He was 31.

Multiple witnesses said he fell from his third-floor room at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires.

It’s unknown if he fell accidentally or intentionally.

TMZ reports:

TMZ has seen a photo showing Liam’s body on the deck at the hotel with tables and chairs nearby, and you can clearly see his tattoos — a clock on his left forearm, and a scorpion on his abdomen.

Witnesses say this happened shortly after 5 PM in Buenos Aires … and that Liam had been acting erratic in the hotel lobby earlier — he smashed his laptop, and had to be carried back to his room.

Police and other first responders are all around the hotel now … and authorities have put up a red tent over the body as they begin their investigation into Liam’s death.

He had been in Argentina recently for a Niall Horan concert earlier in the month, and the 1D bandmates actually reunited at the show.

Per CNN:

The musician was best known as a member of the famed British boyband One Direction. The band, which also included Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan, first formed in 2010 after each member appeared on the UK version of reality competition show “The X Factor.”

One Direction announced they were taking a hiatus in 2015. Payne later released his debut solo album in 2019 titled “LP1.” In March, Payne released his LP “Teardrops.”

Payne had a son, born in 2017, who he shared with former Girls Aloud singing group member Cheryl Cole.
