Valen Iricibar: Buenos Aires Herald editor on former One Direction star Liam Payne dying after balcony fall - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Argentinian authorities say people shouldn't speculate about the death of former One Direction star Liam Payne. 

The 31-year-old has died after a fall at a hotel in Buenos Aires

He's famous for appearing in the Brit boy band on X-Factor aged 16, then developing a solo career.

Buenos Aires Herald Editor Valen Iricibar says an autopsy will reveal more. 

"On the ground, they've very much been saying - look, we don't know if there was a third person, we don't know if he simply fell, we can't rule out if this was on purpose."
