As tributes keep coming in, authorities are still investigating the details of Liam’s tragic death. According to TMZ, he fell from the third-floor balcony of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel.
Earlier that day, hotel staff called for help after he was acting strangely in the lobby, breaking a laptop and needing help to get back to his room.
Alberto Crescenti, the head of Buenos Aires Emergency Medical Services, told ABC News that they arrived at 5:11 p.m., just minutes after the hotel called. Sadly, there was no way to save Liam, whose identity was confirmed after he was pronounced dead.
Crescenti added that Liam’s body was found in the hotel’s inner courtyard. He explained to local media that the singer fell from about 13 to 14 meters (42 to 45 feet) and had “very serious” injuries that were “incompatible with life.”
Before the incident, Liam traveled to Argentina with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, for a vacation and to attend Horan’s concert. However, his girlfriend reportedly left on October 14, while Liam stayed behind.
ith his passing, Liam is survived by his son, Bear, whom he shares with singer Cheryl Cole. The couple announced they were expecting their first child in November 2016, and Bear was born in 2017.
In a 2018 interview, Liam spoke about the joys and challenges of being a father. He said, “I always wanted to be a young dad, but I didn’t really expect to be in this place.”
Liam humorously called himself “Dada Montana” as he balanced his music career and parenthood. He gained fame at 16 when he joined the boy band One Direction.
The group formed on “The X Factor,” alongside Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik. Liam played an important role in their worldwide success until the band broke up in 2015.
The entertainment industry continues to mourn the loss of a beloved artist, with fellow stars remembering his talent and kindness. Our thoughts are with his family and all the fans who loved him.
