Local authorities said on Wednesday night that former One Direction star Liam Payne died after "jumping from the balcony" of his hotel room in Buenos Aires.
Payne died Wednesday afternoon after falling from his room on the third floor at the CasaSur Palermo hotel in Buenos Aires. According to the Associated Press and local Argentine media, Payne was in Argentina to attend Niall Horan's concert.
Pablo Policicchio, the Buenos Aires Security Ministry's communications director, told the Associated Press in a statement that he learned that he had jumped. He also confirmed that shortly after 5 p.m. local time, the hotel received a 911 call about an emergency involving an "aggressive man who could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol."
Following Payne's passing, accolades from his companions in the music and diversion world overflowed out. " I'm stunned right now. Liam always treated me with kindness. One of the first major artists I worked with was him. On his Instagram story, singer-songwriter Charlie Puth wrote, "I can't believe he is gone." May he rest in peace, I am so upset right now.
On his Instagram Story, One Direction guitarist Dan Richards wrote, "This all feels so surreal." I appreciate everyone's contact. I'm still trying to understand everything. My contemplations go out to Liam's family right now."
