Liam Payne had 25 injuries when he died aged 31 this week during a holiday in Argentina. Authorities in Argentina have released information following his heartbreaking death, with reports indicating the musician "jumped from the balcony" of his hotel room in Argentina, plunging to his death . In an official statement given to The Associated Press, police authorities stated that the 31-year-old former One Direction star "jumped from the balcony of his room," apparently dispelling any notions of an accidental fall or foul play.
The shocking incident happened during his holiday in Buenos Aires, where he visited Niall Horan at his former bandmate's concert. The forensic experts determined that "the 25 injuries described in the autopsy are compatible with those caused by a fall from a height." They added that Liam had no "defensive type" injuries and that the wounds on his body were "vital and produced at the same time as each other" concluding that "the intervention of third parties would be ruled out," according to Argentinian outlet La Nacion .
A preliminary autopsy had indicated Payne died from "multiple traumas" leading to "internal and external bleeding" as a result of the 40-foot descent from the third floor of the hotel. Responding to an emergency call made just after 5pm local time, authorities raced to the scene, having been alerted to an "aggressive man who could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol," as stated in the report to AP. Alberto Crescenti, who is the chief of Buenos Aires emergency medical services, said that Liam suffered an immediate death as a result of sustaining multiple injuries, including a skull fracture.
He explained: "Our role was to head there quickly, give medical attention, and try to resuscitate him, but his injuries were incompatible with life. "Based on what the team saw, there was apparently a cranial fracture and extremely serious injuries that led to his immediate death." Liam's One Direction bandmates were "completely devastated" by the news as Harry Styles , Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik released a statement.
They said: "We're completely devastated by the news of Liam's passing. In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly.
The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever. For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and the fans who loved him alongside us. We will miss him terribly.
We love you Liam." If you are struggling with mental health, you can speak to a trained advisor from Mind mental health charity on 0300 123 3393 or email [email protected].
