Fans have been left devastated, with many choosing to hold a candle-lit vigil in his name last night outside of his hotel to pay their respects.
Other fans, have been digging through the One Direction archive and were left sobbing after discovering the very last video of Payne, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan.
The video, posted to X, formerly Twitter shows the former band members on stage in Hong Kong.
The group held their last concert on March 18, 2015, as part of their On The Road Again Tour, which allegedly brought ‘mass hysteria’ to the city according to a Post review of the show.
A person who captured a video of their last performance wrote: “This is a video of one direction performing night changes on march 18, 2015 from 14-year old me. the last time they performed as a 5-member group… ever. my little self would’ve been shattered if she knew then what she was capturing.”
In a statement, police confirmed they had been dispatched to the hotel after an emergency call after they had been 'informed of an aggressive man who may have been under the effects of drugs and alcohol'.
According to the BBC, when police arrived, the officer in charge heard a large sound in the inner courtyard of the hotel, before finding Payne’s body.
Crescenti said in a statement: "At 17.04 through the 911 integrated public safety system, we were alerted of a person who was in an internal courtyard of the management of a south house hotel.
"At 17.11 a SAME team arrived and verified the death of this man and later we found out that he was a singer in a musical group. Unfortunately, he had injuries that were incompatible with life, as a result of his fall, so we had to confirm his death, there was no possibility of resuscitation."
It's believed Payne had been in the Argentinian capital his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, and was going to attend the concert of his former One Direction bandmate Horan.
Payne was seen dancing at his show two weeks ago at the Movistar Arena, enjoying himself and having fun.
