A police statement announced that “Liam James Payne, composer and guitarist, former member of the band One Direction, died today after falling from the third floor of a hotel.”
The singer had suffered “very serious injuries incompatible with life as a result of his fall,” the head of the city’s SAME emergency medical service, Alberto Crescenti, told local television, adding “there was no possibility of resuscitation.”Crescenti said emergency personnel rushed to the Casa Sur hotel in the city’s Palermo neighbourhood after an emergency call was made at 17:04 PM local time.They arrived seven minutes later and “verified the death of this man, who we later learnt was a singer.”
Minutes after the news broke, distraught fans and onlookers gathered near the scene in the Argentine capital, where medical teams were still at work.
As soon as news spread on social media, fans posted the singer’s final post from his hotel room, allegedly posted on Snap Chat one hour before his death. In the video, Liam wishes his fans “good morning” before going on to give them a glimpse of the plush hotel room and lawns.
“This was @LiamPayne posting on Snapchat one hour before he passed away,” fans captioned the stories that the singer uploaded on his handle, showing off his food plate, view from his window, and a mirror selfie with girlfriend Kate Cassidy.

However, the videos were later reportedly deleted.
According to the police statement, the emergency call was made to report “an aggressive man who may be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.”
Payne appeared to have suffered a fracture at the base of his skull from the fall from “about 13 or 14 meters” (about 43-46 feet).
