Alleged photos of Liam Payne's hotel room with broken TV surface after death

New Delhi: After Liam Payne's tragic death from the balcony of a hotel in Buenos Aires, alleged photos of the hotel room went viral on social media.

They were shared by local media in Argentina.

In the photos, a broken TV screen and some white powdery stuff can be seen on the floor of the room and in the bathroom.

The former One Direction star was in Buenos Aires to attend the concert of his former One Direction bandmate Niall Horan.

"Payne fell from the third floor of the Casa Sur Hotel in the Palermo neighbourhood of Argentina's capital, resulting in “extremely serious injuries,” Buenos Aires police said in a statement.

Medics confirmed his death on the spot, the statement said.

Alberto Crescenti, head of the state emergency medical system, said on Argentina’s Todo Noticias TV channel that Payne fell into a courtyard but declined to answer further questions about the incident, including whether Payne jumped from the balcony or fell by accident.

Crescenti told Todo Noticias that authorities were investigating the circumstances of his death and conducting an autopsy.

Payne had a 7-year-old son, Bear Grey Payne, with his former girlfriend, the musician Cheryl who was known as Cheryl Cole when she performed with Girls Aloud.
