Maya Henry, the former fiancée of Liam Payne from One Direction, has reacted publicly for the first time following the heartbreaking news of his death that occurred just hours ago. The model, aged 23, is reportedly in a state of shock after hearing about the tragic incident, especially as she had recently initiated legal actions against the singer.
Payne, who was 31 years old, allegedly fell from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, earlier today. Emergency responders arrived at the scene of the CasaSur Palmero Hotel, where a red tent was erected outside while officials dealt with the situation. Eyewitnesses mentioned that the fall took place shortly after 5 p.m., but the details surrounding the events leading up to it are still unclear.
Ongoing legal issues between the couple
The timing of this event is particularly shocking, as just two days prior, Henry had her lawyers send a cease-and-desist letter to Payne. This legal action followed her claims that he had been contacting her persistently, hinting at renewed tensions between them.
With the investigation into the circumstances surrounding Payne’s sudden death ongoing, Henry’s remarks represent the first public recognition of his passing from someone close to him. The abrupt nature of this event has left many, especially those who knew him well, struggling to comprehend the news.
The investigation is still unfolding, but this unforeseen tragedy has cast a pall over Payne’s final days, particularly in light of the unresolved issues between him and Henry.
