One Direction's Liam Payne mourned after a tragic hotel death

Liam Payne has died. The 31-year-old musician and member of One Direction was found dead in a hotel courtyard. Despite the arrival of rescue teams, they could not save his life. Earlier, the hotel staff, where the singer was staying, informed services about "an aggressive man who might be under the influence of drugs and alcohol," fearing for his safety.

The musician's death is mourned today not only by fans worldwide but especially by his loved ones and according to "The Sun," Liam's parents, Geoff and Karen Payne, hurriedly left their home under the cover of night. It was probably then that they received the news that is now spreading worldwide. Reporters who knocked on the door reportedly heard from the singer's relatives only:

We're obviously devastated at the news but we don't want to comment.

Neighbours were also asked to comment, confirming that Liam's parents hurriedly left their home at night, but it is unclear if they had bags or suitcases with them. In the morning, two women, likely Liam's sisters, appeared at the scene. Someone close to the musician's family conveyed that they are going through very difficult times, which is of course understandable.

You can't imagine what they are going through. I know Liam liked to get back here when he could. They will be utterly heartbroken as they very close - said a neighbour who wishes to remain anonymous. His home town always had a place in his heart. The community is going to be devastated. I think the sisters are there now, your heart goes out to them. The community is going to be devastated.
