Liam Payne, the former One Direction star who tragically passed away at the age of 31 during a holiday in Argentina, was found to have sustained 25 injuries. The Argentinian authorities have disclosed new details following his untimely death. Reports indicate that Payne “jumped from the balcony” of his hotel room in Argentina, leading to the fatal fall. In an official statement to The Associated Press, police authorities confirmed that the musician had “jumped from the balcony of his room,” dismissing any suggestions of an accidental fall or foul play.
The distressing incident took place during Payne’s vacation in Buenos Aires, where he was attending a concert by Niall Horan, his former bandmate. Forensic experts concluded that the “25 injuries described in the autopsy are compatible with those caused by a fall from a height.” They clarified that there were no “defensive type” injuries on Payne’s body and the wounds were “vital and produced at the same time as each other,” ruling out the involvement of third parties, as reported by Argentinian outlet La Nacion.
A preliminary autopsy indicated that Payne succumbed to “multiple traumas” resulting in “internal and external bleeding” due to the 40-foot fall from the third floor of the hotel. Responding to an emergency call just after 5 pm local time, authorities arrived at the scene. Alberto Crescenti, the head of Buenos Aires emergency medical services, revealed the tragic circumstances surrounding Payne’s demise. He shared that Liam suffered a fatal event immediately following multiple injuries, including a severe skull fracture, making resuscitation efforts futile.
The remaining members of One Direction, namely Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and Zayn Malik, expressed their deep sorrow through a poignant statement. They conveyed their devastation at Liam’s passing and highlighted the cherished memories shared with him. The band’s heartfelt message conveyed their love for Payne and extended condolences to his family, friends, and fans.
