Photos have emerged of Liam Payne’s body being removed from the hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina where he died on Wednesday.
Paparazzi captured an ambulance backed up to the CasaSur Palermo Hotel, as Payne’s body was loaded into the vehicle.
The ambulance then drove off under police escort.
The former One Direction member died at age 31 after falling from the balcony in his room on the third floor of the hotel.
Eyewitnesses told TMZ Payne was acting “erratic” before he died.
According to the outlet, the singer smashed his laptop in the hotel lobby and was carried back to his room before the fall.
TMZ also reported that someone at the hotel called 911 to report an “aggressive” male, likely being Payne.
It’s still unclear if Payne’s death was intentional or accidental.
TMZ originally posted a photo of what appeared to be Payne’s arm. The outlet decided not to post the picture in its entirety because it reportedly shows the singer’s body lying on a wooden deck with tables and chairs nearby.
The photo has since been deleted. TMZ is facing backlash for posting the picture.
In photos obtained by The Post, police officers and a forensics team were outside the hotel after Payne’s death.
Fans of the late star also showed up to the hotel after the tragic news broke.
Payne posted on his Snapchat story before his death. In one of the since-deleted posts, he told fans he was having a “lovely day” while spending time with girlfriend Kate Cassidy in Argentina.
In a separate clip, Payne said he and Cassidy were really “enjoying” their time on vacation.
The “Strip That Down” singer arrived in Argentina earlier this month for former One Direction bandmate Niall Horan’s concert.
Payne said on Instagram before Horan’s Oct. 2 show that the pair had things to “square up.”
“It’s been a while since me and Niall have spoken. We’ve got a lot to talk about and I would like to square up a couple things with the boy. No bad vibes or nothing like that but we just need to talk,” Payne said.
It appears Payne stayed or returned to Argentina a short time after Horan’s concert with Cassidy. Cassidy left Argentina by herself two days before Payne’s death.
Payne rose to fame as a member of the boy band alongside Horan, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson. The group formed on “The X-Factor” in 2010, but broke up in 2016 after Malik, 31, quit.
He is survived by his 7-year-old son, Bear. Payne welcomed Bear in March 2017 with his ex, Cheryl Cole.
