Liam Payne, the former One Direction member, has died after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires. He was 31 years old. 

The incident occurred Wednesday at a hotel on Costa Rica Street in the Palermo neighborhood, according to police statements shared with CNN. Authorities responded to a 911 call regarding an aggressive individual, believed to be under the influence, but did not confirm the person's identity.

Payne was in Argentina earlier this month to attend a concert by his former bandmate Niall Horan on October 2. He had recently celebrated his 31st birthday in the UK, sharing moments on his Snapchat.

Born in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, Payne was the youngest of three siblings and studied music technology at the City of Wolverhampton College. He gained fame as a member of One Direction, alongside Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, and Horan, after the band formed on “The X Factor” in 2010.read more.......
