Fans across the globe are in disbelief after reports surfaced that One Direction‘s Liam Payne has tragically passed away at just 31. According to local news outlets in Buenos Aires, the British singer reportedly died after falling from a hotel in the city’s Palermo district on Tuesday evening.

Payne is believed to have fallen from the third floor of the Casa Sur Hotel at around 5pm local time. Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, but it’s been reported that Payne’s injuries were too severe to save him. Head of emergency medical services Alberto Crescenti confirmed that Payne’s fall from approximately 14 meters caused “very serious injuries incompatible with life”.

“At 17:04, a call came through about a person in the courtyard of the Casa Sur Hotel. A team arrived by 17:11, but unfortunately, we had to confirm the man’s death. Later, we learned that he was a singer in a well-known musical group,” Crescenti said.

The devastating news comes as a complete shock to Payne’s fans. Many of them had seen the singer posting videos on Snapchat with his girlfriend, influencer Kate Cassidy, just hours before the incident.

Payne is also the father of a seven-year-old son, Bear, whom he shares with fellow singer Cheryl Cole.

Liam Payne shot to fame in 2010 after being grouped with Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik during his second X Factor audition. Together, they formed One Direction, one of the most successful boy bands in history, before the group went on hiatus in 2015.

As of now, details surrounding the circumstances of Payne’s fall remain unclear. Also, there’s been no official statement from Payne’s family or representatives as of yet.
