More than an hour after sundown in Buenos Aires on Wednesday, a red van backed up to a side door of the four-star CasaSur Palermo Hotel to remove the body of former One Direction band member Liam Payne from the premises.

Liam Payne's family said they're heartbroken after the musician fell to his death from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Payne, who belonged to the wildly successful band One Direction before its members split up to pursue solo careers in 2016, was 31.

The Buenos Aires police have released a statement on Liam Payne's cause of death after falling from a hotel balcony.
