An initial statement from local police in the Argentinian capital revealed that police had been called to Casa Sur Palmero Hotel following reports of an ‘aggressive man who could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol’.
According to PA, Alberto Crescenti, the head of the state emergency medical system, said Argentina’s Todo Noticias TV channel had reported that Payne fell into the courtyard.
Crescenti has since stated that Payne had fallen around 40 metres and suffered ‘severe injuries which were incompatible with life’.
“The alarm was raised at 5.04pm local time saying a person was lying in an internal patio at Casa Sur,” he said.
“At 5.11pm 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.”
It is understood the star was in the city to attend a concert of his former bandmate Niall Horan, with a heartbreaking video showing Payne and his girlfriend enjoying one of Horan’s gigs just days before.
