"It’s very sad, it’s very sad to think about how a person died, how a person who helped you so much and made you happy ended up.
Even though some say it’s silly, crying for a singer, at least in my life, he was very important."

"It was a somewhat predictable ending, but no one ever thinks it will happen. Or maybe you think about it, but you never imagine this: coming to leave things at an altar. The only thing I wish is for everything to be clarified, and because of how happy he made me in the years I grew up, may he rest in peace."

STORYLINE:
Fans have been leaving notes and lighting candles outside a hotel in Buenos Aires where musician Liam Payne was staying when he died.
Shockwaves spread around the world Thursday at the death of Payne, who shot to stardom as a member of British boy band One Direction and had to deal with intense global fame while still in his teens.
"Even though some say it’s silly, crying for a singer, at least in my life, he was very important," said Lucía López, a fan of the singer who came to pay tribute outside the hotel.
"I’m still shocked; sometimes I feel like I still don’t believe it, but it’s all very sad."
As fans and media swarmed the Casa Sur Hotel in the trendy Palermo neighbourhood of Argentina’s capital, the forensics unit worked inside on Thursday collecting evidence.
The Buenos Aires police said they found Payne’s hotel room “in complete disarray” with packs of clonazepam, a central nervous system depressant, as well as energy supplements and other over-the-counter drugs strewn about and “various items broken.”
They added that a whiskey bottle, lighter and cellphone were retrieved from the internal courtyard where Payne’s body was found.
The Argentine public prosecutor’s office said that the autopsy showed internal bleeding and 25 traumatic injuries all over Payne’s body, including to his skull, limbs and abdomen, consistent with the fall.
It said those injuries alone were enough to cause Payne’s death.
There were no signs of a third party being involved, it said, but described Payne’s case as “suspicious," citing the likelihood that the star had been taking alcohol and drugs.
