One Direction band member Liam Payne sustained serious injuries including a fractured skull after falling to his death from his hotel balcony in Beunos Aires, Argentina on Wednesday October 16.
This was revealed by Alberto Crescenti, a director of emergency medical response service SAME, who informed that the late musician had a fracture in the base of his skull, including other extremely serious injuries.
‘’According to the emergency medical team sent to the scene he had a fracture in the base of his skull, extremely serious injuries,’ Mr Crescenti said.
He also told TN television that Payne was dead when paramedics arrived, adding: ‘Our role was to head there quickly, give medical attention, and try to resuscitate him, but his injuries were incompatible with life.’
The singer fell from a third-floor suite with a balcony overlooking an interior pool and the hotel’s on-site Michelin-star restaurant where he landed in the courtyard.
In a statement, the capital police said they were called to the hotel in the capital’s leafy Palermo neighbourhood where they were notified of an “aggressive man who could be under the effects of drugs and alcohol”.
