One Direction member Liam Payne recently died in a tragic incident during the Buenos Aires race. The singer's untimely death occurred when he fell from the third floor of a hotel, approximately 43 to 46 feet (13 to 14 meters) high, resulting in fatal injuries. Emergency medical services, led by Alberto Crisenti, responded swiftly to a distress call placed at 5:40 PM local time but were unable to save him, arriving just seven minutes later.

Reports indicate that Payne suffered from a fracture at the base of his skull and other severe injuries, leading to his death at the scene. Investigations are ongoing, with conflicting reports about the circumstances of the fall, including suggestions of intoxication and concerns raised by hotel staff about his behavior prior to the incident..
