Payne passed away at the age of 31 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, after falling from a third-floor balcony of his hotel. The Argentine prosecutor's office told The Guardian that Payne died as a result of several injuries and internal and external hemorrhage.
After Payne passed away, One Direction released a joint statement saying, "We're completely devastated by the news of Liam's passing. In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly", they added, "The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever. For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and the fans who loved him alongside us. We will miss him terribly. We love you Liam".&nbsp;
