Liam Payne Died: A preliminary autopsy report indicated that the 31-year-old singer died from multiple trauma and internal and external hemorrhage resulting from the fall from the third-floor balcony of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel. The Buenos Aires Public Prosecutor’s Office confirmed these findings and is treating the case as a 'doubtful death' while investigations are ongoing. According to reports, Liam was allegedly displaying erratic behavior in the hours leading up to the incident. The untimely passing of Liam Payne has left fans and the music industry in deep mourning as investigations into the circumstances of his death continue.
Liam tragically passed away on Wednesday, October 16, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, after falling from the third floor of a hotel at the age of 31. Authorities are looking into the possibility that Payne may have experienced an outbreak related to substance abuse prior to the incident. Police experts discovered narcotics, alcohol and damaged furniture in his hotel room, raising concerns that he may have been under the influence. The prosecutor's office also noted that the nature of his injuries suggests he did not try to brace himself during the fall, which could imply that he was either unconscious or disoriented at the time.
Witnesses, including three hotel staff members and two women who had been in Liam Payne's room earlier that day, provided statements to the authorities. Although the women had departed before the fall, they described his behaviour as increasingly erratic. Just moments prior to the incident, hotel staff alerted emergency services, reporting the musician’s disturbing conduct. The receptionist indicated that Payne appeared to be intoxicated and was damaging his room, which prompted an urgent police response.
