The English singer reportedly fell from the third floor of his hotel room at CasaSur, a luxury hotel located in the Palermo district of Buenos Aires, on Tuesday night.
The incident occurred late in the evening, and emergency responders were called to the scene.
Despite their swift response, Payne was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.
The circumstances surrounding his fall remain unknown, but an investigation by Argentine state police is currently underway.
Payne, who gained global fame as a member of One Direction, was in Argentina for a private visit.
News of his death has sent shockwaves through the music industry and among his devoted fan base, with tributes pouring in from fans and fellow celebrities alike.
Payne had recently been working on solo music projects and had kept a relatively low public profile in recent months.

Payne’s career as a solo artist saw him releasing music that reached the charts globally, solidifying his status as a pop icon.
