Liam Payne, the famous singer from the band One Direction, tragically passed away at the age of 31 after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Argentina. According to sources, the English singer had arrived in Buenos Aires, Argentina a few days earlier to spend a vacation with his girlfriend.
Just moments before his death, Liam Payne was actively sharing posts on social media and appeared to be in high spirits.
Sources report that the police received an emergency call about an aggressive individual, allegedly under the influence of drugs and alcohol, who was attempting to jump from the third floor. Later, it was confirmed that he had died.
One Direction gained fame in 2010, with Liam Payne and Zayn Malik as key members. However, the band eventually split after a short period.
Liam Payne spent the final years of his life in crisis, a source who knew the former One Direction member tells Page Six exclusively.
“Liam had been cycling through periods of ruinous behavior for a long time,” our insider shares.
“He was open about his struggles but tried to downplay them at times. His demons were much worse than he let on.”
The cause of death was not immediately released, but police said the “Strip That Down” singer may have been “under the influence of drugs or alcohol” before throwing himself off the balcony of his room and sustaining “extremely serious” — and ultimately fatal — injuries.
Earlier in the day, Payne posted a video on Snapchat saying he was having a “lovely day in Argentina” with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, but it appeared to have been old footage, as the influencer, 25, flew home to Florida earlier this week, according to her TikTok account.
