A photo believed to be the last one of One Direction's Liam Payne was shared on one of the singer's social media accounts just before news of his passing emerged. Payne is reported to have died in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Wednesday, as reported by La Nacion, TMZ, and GMA. He was 31 years old, and the cause of his death remains undisclosed.
The final image posted on social media, shared via Payne's Snapchat, depicted the singer wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and a baseball cap, seated with his knees together and gazing into the distance, reminiscent of a scene from the movie 'Forrest Gump.' Payne captioned the photo, 'Halloween costume idea: forest gump.' The father of a 6-year-old son named Bear, Payne was also active on Snapchat earlier that day, posting a shirtless photo among other updates.
Recently, Payne attended a concert by his fellow One Direction member, Niall Horan, in the Argentinian capital. He wrote on Instagram, 'We're going to Argentina. One, because we want to. Two, because we want to. And three, because Niall Horan's playing down there and I think we might just go and say 'hello.'' He added, '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 of things with the boy. No bad vibes or anything like that, but we just need to talk.'
This story is still unfolding.
