Hotel staff reported calling emergency services about an "aggressive man" potentially under the influence. Guests described hearing prolonged banging and shouting before the incident, with one guest telling The Guardian they initially thought it was construction noise.
Payne was in Buenos Aires to attend a concert by former bandmate Niall Horan. The 30-year-old singer first gained fame at age 16 on "The X Factor" in 2010, where One Direction was formed. His former bandmates and Cheryl Tweedy, mother of his child, have not yet commented publicly on his death.
The autopsy results and full investigation details are still pending.
