Liam Payne died latest: Latest social media posts revealed – as more details emerge of Argentina hotel death | Ents & Arts News

Former One Direction star Liam Payne has died aged 31.

The singer was in Argentina when he was found dead by police.

What happened?

Local police said Payne fell from the third floor of a hotel in the capital Buenos Aires on Wednesday evening.

He reportedly suffered “extremely serious injuries”.

Alberto Crescenti, head of the state’s emergency medical system, told Argentine television that Payne fell in a courtyard at the CasaSur hotel in fashionable Palermo.

He declined to answer further questions about the incident, including whether Payne jumped from the balcony or fell by accident.

Pablo Policicchio, spokesman for the Buenos Aires municipality’s Security Ministry, said police were called to the hotel in response to an “aggressive man who may be under the influence of drugs or alcohol “.

Payne’s social media post hours before his death

Payne had posted on Snapchat in recent hours, saying it was a “beautiful day here in Argentina.”

“I just enjoy coffee and breakfast, even though it’s like 1 p.m.,” he said. “I literally sleep until midnight every day. We are real losers.”

The star spoke about “riding horses” and said: “I think I’m going to play polo again, which will put me out of action for about six weeks.”

“It’s going to be a great day,” he added.

It’s unclear when exactly the videos were filmed, but they were posted hours before his death.

Why was Payne in Argentina?

Argentinian media reported that Payne was in Buenos Aires to attend the concert of his former One Direction bandmate Niall Horan.

He was seen dancing during his show two weeks ago at the Movistar Arena alongside his girlfriend Kate Cassidy.
