Liam Payne Dead at 31 After Fall from Buenos Aires Hotel Room

Liam Payne is dead after a fall from his hotel balcony in Argentina ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ has seen a photo showing Liam's body on the deck at the hotel with tables and chairs nearby, and you can clearly see his tattoos -- a clock on his left forearm, and a scorpion on his abdomen. Witnesses say this happened shortly after 5 PM in Buenos Aires ... and that Liam had been acting erratic in the hotel lobby earlier -- he smashed his laptop, and had to be carried back to his room. Police and other first responders are all around the hotel now ... and authorities have put up a red tent over the body as they begin their investigation into Liam's death.
