On October 16th, 2024, Liam Payne passed away. The former One Direction star died at the age of 31 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Wednesday after falling from a balcony. Many details about the British singer’s death still remain unclear, but information from emergency services and other authorities has started to build a picture of the events. That night a call was made to emergency services around 17:00 local time (21:00 BST) on Wednesday by hotel staff, with requests to respond to a hotel guest “who is overwhelmed by drugs and alcohol” and “destroying his room.” Payne’s room was on the third floor and had a balcony about 14m (45ft) above an interior courtyard. It is thought he fell from the balcony at about 17:07 local time. Police arrived minutes later. Hotel staff told them a loud sound had been heard in the courtyard, where Payne’s body was discovered. He was pronounced dead at the scene, with the emergency services saying there had been “no possibility of resuscitation.” Many people are extremely upset with his death, including his past bandmates saying that they are “completely devastated” from it.
