Liam Payne, a member of the British pop band One Direction, died Wednesday at age 31 after he fell from the third floor of a hotel in Argentina, local authorities said.
Sistema de Atencion Medica de Emergencia, the emergency health service, said in a statement to Telemundo, NBC News’ Spanish-language sister network, that Payne fell from the balcony in Palermo.
Police “were directed to the hotel by a 911 call reporting an aggressive man,” said the emergency services agency. It did not say whether drugs or alcohol were involved, just that the 911 call reported that could be the case.
All untimely deaths are sad and a loss of potential. I've never heard of this guy but I do know the band was famous for a while. Going on Spotify I didn't recognize any of the songs though. Either way, balconies are dangerous. If you are young and/or prone to shenanigans or leaning over railings please stay towards the bottom of the building. Don't let the good times get out of hand!
You have to be on some pretty spectacular drugs to fall over the railings of a balcony. Millions of people all over the world manage to not do it by accident all of the time.
