Liam Payne’s family has been left “devastated” following the death of the singer at the age of 31, a family member has confirmed
Payne died in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Wednesday after falling from a third-floor hotel room.
His family and parents remained home in Wolverhampton as Payne had jetted to the South American country with girlfriend Kate Cassidy to watch former bandmate Niall Horan in concert.
Police in Buenos Aires say that responders first tended to the hotel in response to reports “of an aggressive man who may have been under the effects of drugs and alcohol”. Payne was announced dead at the scene upon their arrival following the fall.
Following the news, Payne’s mum and dad Geoff and Karen were reportedly spotted leaving their family home in Wolverhampton “in a hurry” during the early hours of Thursday.
According to The Sun, a family member answered the door to reporters following their departure where they shared some brief words about the family’s current state.
“We’re obviously devastated at the news but we don’t want to comment,” the family member told the press.
Neighbours told reporters that while Payne’s parents have left, two women arrived this morning to enter the property. They’re believed to be Payne’s sisters.
