Liam Payne of One Direction died Wednesday, TMZ reports. He was 31.
Eyewitnesses told the site Payne fell from the third floor of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Sources said it happened around 5 p.m. Argentina time.
TMZ obtained photos of Liam's body on the ground, which clearly showed his tattoos of a clock on his left forearm and a scorpion on his abdomen.
Earlier in the day, Liam was reportedly behaving erratically, smashed his laptop in the hotel lobby, and had to be carried back to his room.
According to CNN, Buenos Aires police said that personnel went to the hotel on Wednesday afternoon in response to a 911 call about an aggressive man who was possibly under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
The police’s statement did not identify that person as Payne.
The singer was in Buenos Aires in support of fellow One Direction member Niall Horan, who played in Argentina earlier this month.
Payne is survived by his son Bear, 7.
