Liam Payne, a former member of British boy band One Direction, has died after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Argentina, according to local police. He was 31 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police in Buenos Aires, the country’s capital, said they received a 911 call from the Casa Sur Palermo hotel at 5:04 p.m. on Wednesday, reporting an “aggressive man” suspected of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A medical team arrived at the scene at 5:11 p.m. and found Payne suffering from “very serious injuries,” according to Alberto Crescenti, the head of the ambulance service SAME. Payne was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have to wait for the autopsy, but the team saw that he apparently had a fracture at the base of the skull and very serious injuries,” Crescenti said, according to local media<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials said Payne’s body was found in the hotel’s inner courtyard after falling from a third-floor balcony. The exact circumstances of the fall were not immediately clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When officers entered Payne’s hotel room, they found drugs, paraphernalia to consume them, and damage to a television and other furniture. There were also remains of a candle and aluminium foil in the room’s bathtub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Payne’s body was removed from the hotel on Wednesday night and taken to a facility where an autopsy will be carried out in the near future. Tests will determine whether the singer was under the influence drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liam Payne made his debut as a singer when he auditioned for “The X Factor” in 2008, when he was just 14 years old. While Payne was quickly eliminated, one of the judges – Simon Cowell – encouraged him to come back in two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When he auditioned a second time in 2010, Payne was put together with four other boys to form One Direction, which went on to become one of the best-selling boy bands of all time. The group went on an indefinite hiatus in 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
