The Buenos Aires hotel where One Direction alum Liam Payne died has become a gathering spot for fans, who spoke with Us Weekly about their grief
Just hours after One Direction alum Liam Payne died on Wednesday, October 16 after a fall from his CasaSur Palermo hotel room, fans began gathering outside the Buenos Aires hotel to pay their respects.
In an impromptu vigil, fans lit candles, sang One Direction songs and cried as police continued their investigation into the 31-year-old singer’s unexpected death. Communications director for the Buenos Aires Security Ministry, Pablo Policicchio, said in a statement on Thursday that Payne dropped from his third-floor balcony after police arrived at the hotel in response to an “aggressive man who could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.”
On Thursday morning, fans outside the hotel admitted to being in a state of shock or struggling to accept what happened.
