Less than 24 hours after Liam Payne's death, new details are coming to light, including the injuries he sustained following the fall from his hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
According to CNN, a preliminary autopsy report shows that the former One Direction singer died from multiple injuries causing "internal and external hemorrhage" and "a toxicology report is still pending." More details are expected to be released as the prosecutor's office in charge of the investigation will make an official statement.
Police have determined that Payne "jumped from the balcony of his room," according to a statement from the police to The Associated Press.
Payne was found dead at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina after falling from the balcony of his third floor room into the courtyard. The head of SAME, Alberto Crescenti, said in a televised statement:
"At 17:04, through 911, the integrated public security system, we were alerted of a person who was in an internal courtyard of the Casa Sur hotel management . At 17:11, a SAME team arrived and confirmed the man's death. We later learned that he was a singer in a musical group. Unfortunately, he had injuries incompatible with life as a result of his fall, so we had to confirm his death. There was no possibility of resuscitation."
Payne was just 31 years old, and leaves behind his seven-year-old son Bear, who he shares with ex Cheryl Cole.
