Liam Payne’s family ‘heartbroken’ tribute says he’ll ‘forever live in our hearts’
One Direction star Liam Payne tragically passed away on holiday in Buenos Aires, Argentina after the injuries he suffered ‘proved to be fatal’. Payne’s family have spoken out following the shock death of the ex-One Direction singer in a horror balcony plunge. The ‘Strip That Down’ hitmaker had been on holiday in Buenos Aires, Argentina, sharing carefree snaps and videos of his trip just days before the tragic accident.
City ambulance service provider spokesman Alberto Crescenti said: “The alarm was raised at 5.04 pm local time saying a person was lying in an internal patio at Casa Sur. At 5.11 pm an ambulance arrived, and the man was certified dead. Afterwards, we found out he had been a famous singer. Unfortunately, the injuries he had suffered as a result of the fall proved to be fatal. There was no possibility of resuscitating him.” Payne reportedly fell from the third floor of his hotel in the Argentine capital, with cops, medics, and firefighters seen rushing to the scene.
His family paid tribute to the star in a statement. In a statement, they said: “We are heartbroken. Liam will forever live in our hearts, and we’ll remember him for his kind, funny, and brave soul. We are supporting each other the best we can as a family and ask for privacy and space at this awful time.”
As the autopsy continues, local media claim the star had checked into the hotel alone. City ambulance service provider spokesman Alberto Crescenti said he had fallen around 40 meters and suffered “severe injuries which were incompatible with life.”
Crescenti also confirmed that Liam had a “cranial fracture and extremely serious injuries that led to his immediate death.” He went on to say that Liam had already died when medical staff arrived at 5 pm local time (9 pm GMT). Other stars and fans also paid tribute to the late singer, including Paris Hilton, who described the news as “so upsetting” while sending “love and condolences” to his friends and family.
Following Liam’s death, former One Direction stylist Lou Teasdale, 41, wrote on her Instagram Stories: “I hope you’re all ok,” followed by an emoji of hands forming a heart, and a broken heart. Irish singing and television presenting duo Jedward also paid tribute to the star, writing on Twitter: “RIP Liam Payne. condolences to friends and family.” They added: “Sending strength to Cheryl and his son Bear and all the One direction Family.” Former X Factor contestant Rylan Clark called his death “tragic” and wrote: “Extremely sad news. V tragic and so young. RIP Liam.”
The UK Foreign Office confirmed they are in contact with authorities in Argentina “regarding reports of the death of a British man.” Fans gathered outside the swanky hotel, with many lighting candle tributes for the late star. Staff at the swanky Casa Sur Hotel had made a desperate 911 call to emergency services, requesting “urgent” support.
In a heartbreaking twist, just seconds later, the receptionist added: “Just send an ambulance. Only an ambulance.” The tragic news of Liam Payne’s passing has left fans and the music industry in mourning as they remember his talent, kindness, and impact.
