Liam Payne, 30, had been enjoying a vacation in Argentina with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy. The couple shared several social media posts of their time together, documenting their adventures since arriving on September 30.
However, on October 14, Cassidy returned home, while Liam stayed behind, checking into the CasaSur Palermo Hotel.
According to sources close to the situation, things took a dark turn shortly after Cassidy’s departure. On the evening of October 16, an employee at the hotel reportedly called emergency services, describing an “aggressive” male acting erratically in the lobby.
Witnesses confirmed that the man in question was Payne, who had been seen smashing his laptop and behaving out of control. Hotel staff had to escort him back to his room.
Later that evening, a devastating accident occurred. Payne fell from his third-floor hotel room balcony. Several witnesses at the scene say the fall was sudden, but it’s unclear whether it was accidental or intentional.
The time of the incident was reported to be around 5 PM, local time. Photos obtained from the scene show Payne’s body on the deck, surrounded by tables and chairs, with his distinctive tattoos, including a clock on his left forearm and a scorpion on his abdomen, confirming his identity.
This tragic accident marks a heartbreaking end to what seemed to be an enjoyable trip, leaving fans worldwide in shock and mourning. No official statement has been released yet from Payne’s representatives.
