Liam Payne, formerly of the popular boy band One Direction, died after a fall from a third-floor hotel balcony in Argentina.
The 31-year-old singer passed away Wednesday evening, Alberto Crescenti, who heads the state emergency medical system, said.
"There was no way to revive him. He had very serious injuries that were incompatible with life," Crescenti said, according to News Day Mundo.
Reports indicate Payne was found dead outside the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires.
Pablo Policicchio, the spokesperson for the Security Ministry of Buenos Aires municipality, said in a statement to The Associated Press that Payne “had thrown himself from the balcony of his room.”
Policicchio said police were dispatched to the hotel in response to an emergency call about an “aggressive man who could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.” Arriving police heard a thud and found Payne’s body in the hotel courtyard, Policicchio said.
Argentine media reported Payne was in Buenos Aires to attend the concert of his former One Direction bandmate Niall Horan.
