>Pablo Policicchio, the communications director for the Buenos Aires Security Ministry, said in a statement to The Associated Press that Payne “had jumped from the balcony of his room.” Police rushed to the hotel in response to an emergency call just after 5 p.m. local time, he said, warning of an “aggressive man who could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.”
>The hotel manager can be heard on a 911 call obtained by the AP saying they had “a guest who is overwhelmed with drugs and alcohol … He’s destroying the entire room and, well, we need you to send someone, please.” The manager’s voice became more anxious as the call went on, noting the room had a balcony.

This is just such a sad situation – I’m the first to admit prior to this passing I was cringing at his actions and tbh didn’t like the man he was, but he’s left behind a child and loved ones, clearly something was wrong mentally.

I always feel sad when celebrities who became famous when they were that young die under these circumstances. It was obvious he had been on a downward spiral for years and struggled massively with the scale of One Direction’s fame and the collapse of his career afterward.
I really feel for his son and all the people who are or were close to him. And I hope his victims, especially Maya, will be able to find peace somehow. I can’t imagine how she must be feeling. And I feel such rage thinking about his friend who called her not long ago and told her it would be her fault if something happened to him. She limited her Instagram comments yesterday, but the comment section is already full of people saying that he killed him.
One Direction was such a massive part of a lot of people’s formative years, and it’s hard to grieve someone who turned out to be a horrible person in the end. I hope people will keep in mind that grief is complicated and layered, and multiple feelings and thoughts can exist at the same time. It’s okay to mourn the person who played such a big part in so many people’s lives as they grew up and feel sorry for all the people close to him, while also acknowledging that he was a deeply troubled person who did terrible things over the last years that should not be swept under the rug now that he’s gone.
And I hope people will not demand statements from his former band mates now. They all struggled with the early fame in some way, and having one of them die like this must be really hard, even if they weren’t close anymore.

I will add to that new details from AP:
