Aussies outraged as Sydney school girls cruelly mock Liam Payne's tragic death

As I delve into the tumultuous journey of Liam Payne, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of empathy and admiration for the resilience he has shown throughout his career and personal struggles. The rollercoaster ride that began with One Direction’s meteoric rise to fame, followed by the group’s hiatus and subsequent health battles, is a stark reminder of the human side of stardom.


As a lifestyle guide, I am deeply saddened and appalled by the unfortunate incident that unfolded at a Sydney school where some students callously mocked the passing of Liam Payne. It’s disheartening to see such insensitive behavior, especially from our youth. We should always strive to show compassion and respect for one another, particularly in times of grief.

On Wednesday evening at around 5 pm, it’s said that a former member of One Direction, aged 31, fell from the third level of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires.

After hearing about the singer’s sad passing, pupils from the school created a TikTok video making fun of him.

In the video, you can hear a girl shouting something that sounds like “Liam Payne has passed away,” followed by another person saying “That’s quite a humorous prank.” (or “That’s a clever joke.”)

She is then seen running and pretending to jump off the edge of a balcony.

Moments later, another student is seen lying on the ground of the lower level of the building.

The post was shared to The Virtual Hangout Facebook group, with many flocking to the comments to express their outrage.

‘That’s absolutely disgusting behaviour I reported them a few times. Hopefully it gets removed,’ one wrote.

‘Some people have absolutely no respect for human life and it shows,’ another said.

One individual concurred, expressing it as, “Oh dear, that’s really distasteful,” while another commented, “That’s simply revolting and uncalled for.

Liam reportedly fell from a hotel in Buenos, Argentina on Wednesday around 5pm (ART). 

Over time, a group of passionate fans has gathered at the hotel to express their condolences for the young pop sensation who passed away.

Last night, police in Buenos Aires reported that their initial response was due to a 911 call concerning a potentially intoxicated individual exhibiting aggressive behavior, possibly influenced by both substances (drugs and alcohol).

According to the BBC report, officials became aware of a loud noise coming from the courtyard around 5 pm, only to later find his body.

As reported by TMZ, it seems that Liam had been behaving strangely in the hotel lobby and ended up shattering his laptop. Later on, he needed assistance to be taken back to his room.

A worker at a local hotel made an emergency call to the police about a guest who was heavily intoxicated, as per recordings related to this incident from the Buenos Aires security department.

The worker stated, “When he’s awake, he’s wrecking the entire room and we urgently require assistance, so please dispatch someone.

According to the emergency medical services director, Alberto Crescenti, Liam experienced extremely severe injuries following a fall from a height of three floors onto an inner courtyard.

‘We verified his identity using the passport he had,’ he said.

According to Mr. Crescenti, it appeared as though the player had a skull base fracture, which was observed by the team.

His body was transported to a local morgue where a post-mortem examination will be carried out.

Images allegedly depicting Liam’s hotel room in disarray, including an image of a shattered TV screen, have been circulating on the internet without confirmation.

Last night, emotional supporters comforted one another as they congregated and illuminated candles outside the lodging where Liam’s lifeless body was discovered.

One woman could be seen sitting on the pavement with her head in between her knees.

Earlier this month, the singer from “The Night Changes” was seen at a concert by his ex-bandmate Niall Horan, which took place in the country.

Back in 2008, I, a starstruck teenager, embarked on my musical journey after daring to audition for The X Factor at the tender age of 14. Standing before the formidable panel consisting of Simon Cowell, Cheryl, Louis Walsh, and Dannii Minogue was nothing short of nerve-wracking, yet exhilarating!

Originally eliminated from the talent show, he reappeared in 2010 and eventually teamed up with Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson to establish the pop group, One Direction.

The team earned third position in The X Factor competition, later skyrocketing to international fame with chart-toppers like “What Makes You Beautiful” and “Live While We’re Young.

Over the course of their career, the group put out five studio albums after Malik’s exit, which include “Up All Night” (2011), “Midnight Memories” (2013), and “Made In The A.M.” (2015).

In 2016, One Direction went on an infinite hiatus.

Over the years, Liam has also battled with health struggles as well as alcoholism and suicidal thoughts. 

2021 saw him sharing candidly on The Diary Of A CEO podcast that he battled depression and substance misuse during his time in the band One Direction.

I was concerned about the depth of my lowest point. Can anyone tell me where that is for me? You wouldn’t have noticed it because I’m quite skilled at concealing it. In fact, no one would have known it was there.

When host questioned if Liam’s dark thoughts included ‘suicidal ideation,’ the singer said ‘Yes.’

Absolutely. There are certain matters in my past that I’ve never discussed. They were extremely challenging and difficult to endure. These issues became a significant burden for me. It wasn’t until I looked at myself in the mirror that I realized I needed to make changes to improve my situation.

Payne remembered coming across pictures where he looked swollen, a look he described as his “drinking-and-medication facial expression.

‘At one point, my face appeared about ten times larger than it does today. I wasn’t particularly fond of myself during that time, but I decided to make some changes.’

In August of last year, Payne found himself admitted to the hospital due to a serious kidney infection during his vacation at Lake Como, Italy.

Due to his illness, he decided to postpone his South American tour so that he could rest and get better. He announced this on social media at the time.

With a sense of regret, I must share some disappointing news. Due to circumstances beyond our control, it is necessary for me to delay the upcoming tour in South America.

He added: ‘Over the past week I’ve been in hospital with a serious kidney infection, it’s something I wouldn’t wish on anyone, and doctors orders are that I now need to rest and recover.’

I was absolutely thrilled to perform for you all. To those who purchased tickets, I apologize deeply.

After being hospitalized, it was reported by his worried friends to The Sun that Payne found it challenging to adapt after his time with One Direction.

A friend mentioned that it’s not too unexpected – he’s been dealing with some challenges in his life lately.

‘Liam struggled so much in the band due to the heavy workload and being in the spotlight.’

Initially, he was an ordinary young man without One Direction fame; therefore, the feeling of being confined within this bubble was strange and overwhelming to him, and the limitations placed upon him were particularly difficult to cope with, as the source explained further.

‘His partying since the band’s break could well be a reaction to this.’
