The world is still reeling from the shocking news of Liam Payne‘s death. But some fans are clinging to an explanation that may be a little less painful than others… As we previously reported, the One Direction star was killed on Wednesday afternoon in a fall from the balcony of his room at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
It’s still unclear what made him go over the 3rd floor (what we’d call the 4th floor in the US) railing. But we have been told it was intentional.
On Thursday, the Buenos Aires Security Ministry confirmed in a statement to the AP this wasn’t a slip, he didn’t lean over too far.
