BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentine authorities continue to investigate the death of former One Direction singer Liam Payne, who died Oct. 16 at age 31 after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires.
Payne was a beloved member of the group, which formed in 2010 after its members — Payne, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik — auditioned for “The X-Factor” as solo acts and were brought together by judge Simon Cowell. With their loyal fan base of “Directioners" they became one of the most successful boy bands of all time.
Here is what we know — and what remains unknown — about the star's untimely death.
