Here’s what we know so far about the circumstances leading to Payne’s death. According to local police, they were alerted by a 911 call reporting “an aggressive man who might have been under the influence of drugs and alcohol” at the Casa Sur hotel, where Payne was staying in Buenos Aires.
According to Argentine media, the emergency call was made by a hotel manager, who reported a guest “on drugs and damaging the room,” as stated by AFP news agency. The manager allegedly informed the operator that the guest “has access to a balcony, and there is concern they might do something to endanger their life.”While much will be said about his time with One Direction, Liam Payne also found success as a solo artist. In 2017, his hit single “Strip That Down” from his debut solo album reached number three on the UK Singles Chart. His first album, LP1, released in 2019, received mixed reviews, but Payne still sold millions of singles, proving he was more than just a former boy band member.
In his personal life, Payne was linked to several high-profile women, including supermodel Naomi Campbell and model Maya Henry, with whom he got engaged in 2020 before they ended the relationship. Most recently, he was connected to US influencer Kate Cassidy. Payne had also struggled with health issues, requiring two hospitalizations in 2023.
