The former One Direction singer reportedly fell from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. Local emergency services told Rolling Stone that Payne fell from a height of “about 13 or 14 meters,” and that he “suffered severe injuries incompatible with life.”

Now, it has been revealed that Payne posted on his Snapchat shortly before his death. He wrote that it was a “lovely day in Argentina” and that he was planning on playing polo. Another story suggested he might be “Forest Gump” for Halloween.

However, some videos appeared to be posted days after they were originally filmed. One snippet shows Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy, who reportedly returned to Florida earlier this week and documented her travels on social media.
