RIP Liam Payne

Liam Payne was acting erratically and had to be escorted back to his hotel room before he plunged to his death - with hotel workers making a panicked call to police.

The former One Direction star fell from the third floor of the Casa Sur Palmero hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, yesterday. He was aged 31.

Police in Buenos Aires were contacted by a hotel worker who reported 'an aggressive man who may have been under the effects of drugs and alcohol'.

Shortly afterwards, workers heard a loud sound in the hotel's courtyard before the Wolverhampton-born singer's body was discovered just after 5pm local time.

Payne had been 'acting erratically in the hotel lobby and smashed his laptop' before he 'had to be carried back to his room', according to local media.

Awful.

Having seen random mentions here and there about how unwell and out of it he seemed on his socials the last few months, how he acted at Niall's show compared to Harry and combine that with his ex's allegations and the lawsuit she had filed against him.

I hope he's at peace now.

Yes, a seven year old. I remember because his kid with Cheryl Cole was born at the same time as my own lad.

Terribly sad for all involved, especially his boy.

Oh with Cheryl cole. Didnt realise this.. terribly sad for his poor boy and family.
