One Direction star Liam Payne tragically died last week after falling from his hotel room balcony in Argentina. The former X-Factor contestant sustained "serious injuries that were incompatible with life" after falling from the third-floor balcony at the luxurious Casa Sur Palermo hotel just after 5pm local time on October 16.

Argentinian police revealed to The Associated Press in an official statement that the beloved father-of-one had "jumped from the balcony of his room", seemingly ruling out theories of accidental death or foul play.

Liam was in Argentina on a getaway with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, which was scheduled for five days but was extended to two weeks, reports The Mirror.
