Fans and loved ones of the artist are in mourning… On Wednesday, October 16, 2024, Liam Payne died at the age of 31. While the American website TMZ initially reported that the One Direction singer had fallen from the balcony of his hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, it seems that he “jumped from the balcony” after trashing his hotel room. While he was hoping to start a new life sober, he was unfortunately targeted by drug traffickers who delivered him to his hotel room.
In a statement, the singer’s family, who leaves behind a seven-year-old son, Bear, still in shock, shared: “We are heartbroken. Liam will live forever in our hearts and we will remember him as a kind, funny, and courageous soul. We are supporting each other as best we can as a family and ask for privacy and space during this terrible time. “

According to preliminary toxicology reports, the British singer had consumed several drugs, including “pink cocaine”, a mixture containing methamphetamine, ketamine and MDMA. “The representative of the public prosecutor informed the father (of Liam Payne) that the toxicological and histopathological studies additional to the autopsy were not yet completed and that their results were necessary to decide on the release of the body ” , said the public prosecutor in a statement.
The prosecutor Andres Madrea also informed him that he was “not aware to date of any other laboratory studies or analyses” and that he had not made public ” any specific technical report outside the exclusive framework of the investigation and the judicial process corresponding to the case”.

A few days ago, Ruth Gibbins, one of Liam Payne’s sisters, paid tribute to him on Instagram. “I can’t believe this just happened. I don’t feel like this world was good enough or kind enough for you. Often, over the last few years, you’ve tried to overcome everything,” she shared.
Upset, it was in the caption of photos taken in recent years that she added: “Liam, I can’t understand what’s happening and I can’t understand where you’ve gone. I just want to go to your house and see you writing a song. Or see you creating. I’m sorry I couldn’t save you. “
