Cause of death for former One Direction star, Liam Payne revealed after he fell from his hotel in Argentina

Alberto Crescenti, head of Buenos Aires emergency services, confirmed that Liam Payne suffered a fatal cranial fracture and severe injuries following a fall from a third-floor hotel suite. Payne was pronounced dead at the scene when paramedics arrived at 5pm local time (9pm UK time), Crescenti told TN television. Emergency responders verified his identity using his passport, but the exact cause of his fall remains under investigation.

The singer, who had traveled to Argentina earlier this month for ex-bandmate Niall Horan's concert, was staying in a room overlooking the hotel's interior pool and Michelin-star restaurant, where he landed. Payne’s girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, had left the country two days earlier. Meanwhile, Payne's ex-fiancée, Maya Henry, had recently issued a cease and desist letter, accusing him of persistent contact.
