Payne died instantly from multiple injuries including a fractured skull when he fell 45ft from a Buenos Aires hotel balcony, Mail Online reports.
The 31-year-old star plunged from the third floor into the courtyard of the Casa Sur Hotel in Argentina’s capital on Wednesday afternoon, before medics confirmed his death.Alberto Crescenti, head of the Buenos Aires emergency services, revealed Payne had a “cranial fracture and extremely serious injuries that led to his immediate death”. He also told TN television that Payne was dead when paramedics arrived at 5pm local time (9pm UK time), adding: “Our role was to head there quickly, give medical attention, and try to resuscitate him, but his injuries were incompatible with life.”
Payne’s identity was confirmed by emergency services by checking his passport, but police do not yet have conclusive evidence regarding the circumstances of his fall. The singer fell from a third-floor suite with a balcony overlooking an interior pool and the hotel’s on-site Michelin-star restaurant where he landed in the courtyard. Payne had arrived in Argentina earlier this month for his ex-bandmate Niall Horan’s concert with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy. She left two days ago, but he stayed on. Around the same time, his ex-fiancée Maya Henry instructed lawyers to issue Payne with a cease and desist letter after accusing him of repeatedly contacting her.
Payne rose to stardom aged 16 after forming boy band One Direction on The X Factor in 2010 alongside Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Harry Styles.
