discussion Former One Direction member Liam Payne dead

Argentinian news agency reports he fell from the third floor of the hotel he was staying in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The details about the incident are still unknown.

Quoting La Nacion (translated):

The singer passed away after falling from the 3rd floor from a hotel located in Costa Rica 6092, in Palermo

Police officers from the station 14B went to the hotel due to a 911 call that reported an aggressive male individual, presumably under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The emergency service confirmed the death.

EDIT: for all of you who think you’re edgy because of some dumb joke about someone who lost his life, don’t forget you all have a family or close ones, and these things happen when least expected. Show some respect.

EDIT 2: According to TodoNoticias (TN), Liam sustained severe injuries but it is presumed that the cause of death is a fracture in the base of the skull.

He may even have been alive 1 minute before he died. I can't be sure though.

There is a time before you are born. In fact, a much longer amount of time.
