HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) — Former One Direction singer Liam Payne died after falling from his hotel room in Argentina. The singer was 31.
State police says he was staying at the hotel CasaSur in Palermo. Police responded to a call on Wednesday for a report an “aggressive man” believed to be under the influence. As of now, it is unclear if that man was Payne.
