Following the tragic death of One Direction star Liam Payne in Buenos Aires, alleged photos of his hotel room have gone viral on social media. Local media in Argentina shared the images, including one showing a broken TV screen.

Payne, 31, was in Buenos Aires to attend a concert by his former bandmate Niall Horan. According to local media reports, his death was confirmed by Buenos Aires’ public emergency services. The city’s Security Minister stated to the Associated Press that Payne "threw himself" from the balcony of his third-floor room at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel.

Disturbing details about Payne’s final hours have emerged, with images from his Deluxe Suite showing signs of disarray. Photos revealed a shattered TV screen and various items scattered across the suite, including a Dove soap container, matches, remnants of candles, aluminum foil, and a powdery substance believed to be cocaine. A burned soda can top and a lighter were also found, suggesting an atmosphere of chaos. Additional burn marks and remnants of candles were discovered in the bathtub.

Earlier in the day, Payne had posted a video on Snapchat, but reports from Marca indicate that his last moments were marked by increasing distress. Despite attempts by authorities to respond to the emergency call, Payne was pronounced dead at the scene.

The incident has shocked fans and the music community, as Payne’s sudden death follows his well-documented struggles with substance abuse. Investigations are ongoing.
