The sudden death of One Direction star Liam Payne last month left the world in shock.
The singer tragically died on October 16 at the age of 31 after falling from the third floor of an Argentinian hotel, Casa Sur Palmero. It was reported that Liam had been behaving erratically and was escorted back to his room shortly before the fatal incident. Hotel staff described him as “an aggressive man who may have been under the effects of drugs and alcohol.”
He was also seen “acting erratically in the hotel lobby and smashed his laptop” before he “had to be carried back to his room.” Tragically, shortly after this, a loud noise was heard in the courtyard and Liam’s body was discovered around 5pm local time.

Audio obtained by MailOnline from the Buenos Aires security ministry revealed a call from a worker requesting help with an intoxicated guest. The worker said: “When he is conscious he is destroying the entire room and we need you to send someone.”

Alberto Crescenti, director of emergency medical services, spoke to local news outlet Clarin following Liam’s death, reports the Mirror.
He confirmed: “We verified his identity using the passport he had,” and added: “The team saw that he apparently had a fracture at the base of the skull.”
In a shocking turn of events, Buenos Aires police confirmed the tragic death of Liam James Payne, the talented composer and guitarist known for his time with One Direction. The statement read: “Liam James Payne, composer and guitarist, former member of the band One Direction, died today after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Palermo.”
Before the tragedy, Liam had taken to social media to share his excitement about traveling to Argentina, saying: “We’re going to Argentina. One, because we have to, and two, because we want to, and three, because Niall Horan’s playing down there and I think we might just go and say ‘Hello.'”
He added, “It’s been a while since me and Niall have spoken. We’ve got a lot to talk about and I would like to square up a couple things with the boy. No bad vibes or nothing like that, but just, we need to talk.”
Liam posted updates on Snapchat before his death
He told fans he was in Argentina
The singer was in South America with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, and had been active on social media just hours before the incident. Liam shared images of himself enjoying local cuisine and spoke of plans to play polo.
In a video featuring Kate at breakfast, he remarked: “This is the breakfast table, just enjoying breakfast and coffee even though it’s 1pm.”
He also mentioned they were staying at a friend’s house, as Kate humorously called them “losers” for sleeping in.
However, following a toxicology report indicating the presence of a class-A drug in Liam’s system, there have been numerous unsettling allegations regarding the beloved father’s final hours, including claims that he was targeted by drug dealers.
Just hours before his tragic fall from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Liam had reached out to two women via an Argentine website, sparking questions about the personal battles he was grappling with in the days leading up to his untimely death. Gemidos, a well-known portal in Argentina where hundreds of women offer companionship complete with photos and detailed descriptions, was his platform of choice.
