Liam Payne tragically passed away at the age of 31 during a holiday in Argentina, and new details have emerged regarding the circumstances of his death. Authorities in Argentina have revealed that Liam sustained a total of 25 injuries, with reports indicating that he “jumped from the balcony” of his hotel room, leading to the fatal fall. The former One Direction star was in Buenos Aires for a concert by his bandmate, Niall Horan, at the time of the incident.
In an official statement provided to The Associated Press, police authorities confirmed that Liam had “jumped from the balcony of his room,” dispelling any notions of accidental fall or foul play. Forensic experts noted that the injuries described in the autopsy were consistent with those resulting from a fall from a height, and there were no indications of defensive injuries. The wounds on his body were determined to be vital and occurred simultaneously, suggesting no third-party involvement.
A preliminary autopsy indicated that Liam’s cause of death was “multiple traumas,” leading to internal and external bleeding due to the 40-foot fall from the hotel’s third floor. Emergency responders were alerted to the scene after a call reporting an “aggressive man under the influence of drugs or alcohol,” and upon arrival, they found Liam with severe injuries including a serious skull fracture. Despite efforts to resuscitate him, the medical team determined that his injuries were fatal upon arrival.
Following Liam’s tragic passing, his former One Direction bandmates, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and Zayn Malik, expressed their deep sorrow in a heartfelt statement. They shared their devastation and reminisced about the cherished memories they had with Liam, pledging to take time to grieve and process the loss of their beloved friend and brother.
