Liam Payne died after falling from his hotel balcony in Argentina… TMZ has learned.
The former One Direction singer died Wednesday evening. Several witnesses from the hotel where he was staying in Buenos Aires tell us that Liam fell from his room on the 3rd floor of the CasaSur Palermo hotel. We don’t know if it was intentional or accidental.
TMZ obtained a photo showing Liam’s body on a wooden deck at the hotel with tables and chairs nearby. We don’t show the whole body, but you can clearly see his tattoos: a clock on his left forearm and a scorpion on his abdomen.
Witnesses say it happened shortly after 5 p.m. in Buenos Aires… and that Liam had been behaving erratically in the hotel lobby earlier – he smashed his laptop and had to be taken back to his bedroom.
Police and other first responders are now all around the hotel…and authorities have set up a red tent over the body as they begin their investigation into Liam’s death.
He recently visited Argentina for a Niall Horan concert earlier in the month, and members of the band 1D reunited at the show.
Liam was just 16 when he joined One Direction…and the group became the biggest boyband in the world after their 2010 debut on “The X Factor.” The group eventually broke up in 2015 and he was considered one of their main songwriters.
As we reported…Liam revealed in June 2021 that he struggled with alcohol and drug addiction at one point while One Direction was on tour, and things got so bad he had “severe” suicidal thoughts.
Earlier this week, reports circulated that Liam’s ex-fiancée, Maya Henry, was alleging that he left her after she asked her to have an abortion. Her lawyers had tried to send her a cease and desist letter to stop contacting her.
It is unclear at this point whether this triggered his erratic behavior at the hotel.
