How did Liam Payne die?

Liam Payne died after falling off a third-floor story hotel room balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel on October 16, 2024. Alberto Crescenti , Buenos Aires emergency services chief, told La Nación that Liam Payne suffered “serious injuries” that were untreatable once responders arrived at the scene.

“Our role was to head there quickly, give medical attention, and try to resuscitate him, but his injuries were incompatible with life,” he explained. “Based on what the team saw, there was apparently a cranial fracture and extremely serious injuries that led to his immediate death.” The chief emphasized that his team could not save him. “The team could do absolutely nothing,” he continued. “There was no resuscitation because it was confirmed that he had died. The whole body had very serious injuries.”
