One Direction fans in Buenos Aires sing to remember Liam Payne
Argentine fans of former One Direction singer Liam Payne, who died in a dramatic fall from his hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, gathered on Thursday (October 17) afternoon around the city's central obelisk monument to remember the troubled boy band icon. Payne, 31, who shot to global fame with the "X Factor" boy band, was found dead after he fell from a third-floor hotel room balcony on Wednesday, triggering an outpouring of fan tributes around the world from Britain to Buenos Aires. He died of multiple traumas and bleeding, prosecutors said on Thursday, adding an initial search suggested the fall came after substance abuse with alcohol and drugs. His hotel room was found in "total disarray" with furniture smashed. In the obelisk, fan Guido Renversade, 24, said One Direction helped shape who he was. "I love them all, I love all the guys but I relate to Liam the most," he said. -- Report from Reuters
