Liam Payne, a former member of the band One Direction, passed away at the age of 31 in Argentina after falling from a hotel balcony. The autopsy report confirmed that Payne died of polytrauma and internal and external bleeding, with no conclusive information about the cause of death. The report also indicated that the injuries sustained by Payne were consistent with a fall from height, with no defensive injuries suggesting the involvement of third parties. Payne likely fell in a state of semi or total unconsciousness. Pending further investigations, substances were seized from his room, indicating a history of alcohol and drug consumption. Polytrauma is a condition characterized by multiple traumatic injuries involving multiple organs or systems, with various causes such as car accidents or attempts at suicide or homicide. Payne’s death occurred at the hotel Casa Sur in Buenos Aires, where authorities had responded to a 911 call made by a hotel staff member expressing concern about a guest’s destructive behavior under the influence of drugs and alcohol, minutes before Payne’s fall. The ongoing investigation aims to determine the possible involvement of third parties in the events leading up to Payne’s death.
