One Direction star Liam Payne shared a heartbreaking post before he was found dead at the age of 31.
The star died after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. He had allegedly arrived earlier this month to attend his former bandmate, Niall Horan’s concert.
Multiple witnesses shared that Payne fell from his room on the third floor of the Casa Sur Palmero Hotel not long after 5pm on 16 October.
In the wake of the heartbreaking news, fans have gathered outside the hotel to pay their respects to the star.
According to a police statement, authorities arrived on the scene after they were ‘informed of an aggressive man who may have been under the effects of drugs and alcohol’.
City ambulance service provider spokesman Alberto Crescenti shared that he had fallen around 40 metres and the body had ‘severe injuries which were incompatible with life.’
‘The alarm was raised at 5.04pm local time saying a person was lying in an internal patio at Casa Sur.
‘At 5.11pm an ambulance arrived and the man was certified dead.
‘Afterwards we found out he had been a famous singer. Unfortunately the injuries he had suffered as a result of the fall proved to be fatal. There was no possibility of resuscitating him.’
Payne’s final Snapchat post showed him with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy and appearing happy – a picture that was originally captured last August.
He also shared a video of himself enjoying a late breakfast in his hotel room with girlfriend, Kate.
They shared that they had been ‘waking up at 1pm every day’ and he was planing to dress as Forrest Gump for Halloween.
Liam’s final Instagram post was just as heartbreaking, he shared a picture with his former band members paying tribute to American documentary maker Morgan Spurlock.
