A band member of one of the most popular boy bands has passed away. Liam Payne was found dead after a fall from a third-story hotel in a hotel in Palermo, Buenos Aires Argentian. He was there at a concert in support of his bandmate Niall Horan, who was having a concert. He was there alone after his girlfriend Kate Cassidy had left early from their vacation in Palermo. They had posted various photos and videos talking about the fun time that they were having.

Police went to the hotel after calls stated that an aggressive man who seemed to be on drugs and/or alcohol was causing a disturbance. There is no knowledge whether Payne fell off the third-floor balcony or if he jumped. When emergency services arrived, it was obvious that the man was deceased.

TMZ found great backlash after they posted a photo of what looked like Payne's arm with a tattoo that he wore, near furniture. Many on social media called out TMZ, who took the photo off of their site.

Payne had a history of alcohol abuse and thoughts of self-harm, but last year said that he had a successful stay in rehab and that he was sober and doing well. He is survived by a 7-year-old son.
