Authorities cordoned off the street outside a Buenos Aires hotel on Wednesday after former One Direction singer Liam Payne was found dead.


Local police said the 31yearold British musician was found dead after falling from his third floor hotel room balcony.


In a statement, the capital police said they were called to the hotel in the capital's leafy Palermo neighborhood where they were notified of an "aggressive man who could be under the effects of drugs and alcohol."


Emergency workers confirmed the death of the singer, who was reportedly found in the hotel's interior patio.


Payne rose to global fame as part of the sincedisbanded pop band One Direction, alongside Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson.
