The singer's death has sent shockwaves across the world
The singer, 31, who found fame on The X Factor with the boy band, died after falling from a balcony on the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Wednesday. Local police said he fell into the courtyard of the hotel, before medics confirmed his death.
In the call prior to the incident, the hotel’s manager Esteban can be heard telling emergency services “I don’t know if the guest’s life is in danger because he is in a room with balcony”. Police in the Argentine capital previously said the music star’s hotel room had been “in complete disarray” with “various items broken”. They added that a whiskey bottle, lighter and mobile phone had been retrieved from the internal hotel courtyard where Payne’s body was found.
Meanwhile, Liam Payne’s One Direction bandmates have said they are “completely devastated” by the news of his death. The music star said he was “instantly amazed” by Payne’s voice when they met and added that he had “got a chance to see the kind brother I’d longed all my life for”.
