Former One Direction member and solo artist Liam Payne died after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires. Following his death, a Snapchat video of Payne discussing his stay in Argentina has gone viral. It is believed to be the last video he recorded before the fatal incident.
A video shared on Liam Payne’s Snapchat account shows the former One Direction singer speaking in Sarmiento, Buenos Aires province, Argentina. In the clip, Liam is seen sitting at a dining table, talking to the camera about how he and his friends had slept.
“Such a lovely day here in Argentina. This is the breakfast table, just enjoying coffee and breakfast even though it’s 1 pm,” he remarks, as one of his companions off-screen comments that they sleep till noon every day.
The 31-year-old British singer was found lifeless in the interior courtyard of the hotel in the Palermo district, according to the reports.
Leading Argentine newspapers, La Nacion and Clarin, quoted officials who stated that police were called to the scene following an emergency report of “an aggressive man possibly under the influence of drugs and alcohol.” Emergency medical workers later confirmed Payne’s death.
Liam Payne rose to international stardom as a member of the boy band One Direction, formed on The X Factor in 2010. Alongside Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson, the group became a global phenomenon before disbanding in 2016 to allow each member to focus on their solo careers.
