Liam Payne was alone when fall occurred and was 'having some sort of outbreak' due to substance abuse
A post-mortem examination found that former One Direction member Liam Payne died of multiple traumas and "internal and external haemorrhage" after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina
Devastated by the loss, the star's family expressed their profound grief in a statement to the PA news agency through a spokeswoman: "Liam will forever live in our hearts and we'll remember him for his kind, funny and brave soul." Photos show stunned fans gathering outside the hotel after police cordoned off the area, with forensic investigators in white protective suits and blue gloves seen entering and leaving. A post from the official X Factor account on X, formerly Twitter, described Payne as "immensely talented", while the show's former host Dermot O'Leary told ITV's This Morning the singer was "kind of both wise and sort of a young soul at exactly the same time".
