One Direction fans and celebrities have taken to social media to slam TMZ for posting pictures of Liam Payne's body following his tragic death.
Former star Liam, 31, fell from the third floor of a hotel building in the Argentinian capital. Police, firefighters and ambulances were seen outside of a hotel building after Liam tragically fell. Police are said to have been called to reports of a man acting aggressively at the hotel who could be under the effect of drink or drugs.
A body was found in an internal patio of the hotel. The police were called to the hotel by the hotel manager. It's believed that Liam fell from around 13 or 14 metres and suffered "very serious injuries incompatible with life." In a statement, the local ambulance manager told TN: "At 17.04 through the 911 integrated public safety system, we were alerted of a person who was in an internal courtyard of the management of a south house hotel.
A source close to Liam's ex Maya has told Mail Online: "Right now she is obviously in shock." Reports suggested that Maya only learned of Liam's death when a reporter contacted a member of her team. TMZ reported that several witnesses had told them Liam fell from his room just after 5pm on Wednesday. The publication also claimed that Liam was seen "acting erratic in the hotel lobby earlier," adding that "he smashed his laptop, and had to be carried back to his room."
Fans were furious at the publication for sharing a picture of his body after his death. Rylan Clark took to X/Twitter to write: "And TMZ f**king shame on you . Disgrace." Another user said: "TMZ posting part of a photo of Liam Payne’s dead body in an article announcing his death is beyond deplorable. I can’t tell if I’m losing my mind lately or if society has always been this overtly morally decrepit."
