This is the hotel in Buenos Aires, where Liam Payne died on Wednesday evening. He fell from a third floor balcony. Now, emergency services were called here on Wednesday night by hotel staff who were concerned about somebody who they described as a man who was being aggressive and who appeared to be under the influence of drugs and alcohol. They said that they were worried that he may be a risk to his own life. Now, emergency services did arrive at the scene. They said they then heard a loud noise coming from the courtyard in this hotel. He was rushed to a nearby hospital here in Palermo, which is an upmarket neighborhood of the city. But emergency services said that his injuries were so severe that he was unable to be resuscitated. After this news broke last night, many fans rushed here to the scene to pay tribute to Liam Payne.
