The leading topic in global media today is the passing of Liam Payne under still unclear circumstances. It is certain that the 31-year-old singer had been in Argentina for a few weeks at the special request of his former bandmate, Niall Horan. Their planned performance after years was thwarted by the shocking death of the co-performer of the hit "For You".

Liam Payne's death was not an unfortunate accident?

According to statements provided by the police, it was reported that the British star fell from the third floor of the CasaSur Palermo hotel in Buenos Aires, dying on the spot.

Meanwhile, according to the latest findings, the former member of One Direction reportedly jumped from the balcony himself, suffering extensive injuries. This information was conveyed by Pablo Policicchio, Director of Communications at the Buenos Aires Ministry of Security, as cited by the Associated Press news agency.

An investigation into the artist's death has already been launched. An autopsy will also be conducted soon to help determine the exact circumstances of the incident.
