JUST PLAIN SAD –
OCT. 17, 2024 – The One Direction singer-songwriter was found dead after falling from his third-floor balcony of the Casa Sur hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina’s capital, local police confirmed Wednesday. In a statement, the capital police added they were called to the hotel in the city’s Palermo neighborhood, where they were notified of an “aggressive man who could be under the effects of drugs and alcohol.”
At the time, he called his then-recent choice to go sober for a year “a case of growing up.
“Luckily for me at those times (when I was drinking), I had the best people around me to make me realize different points in my life where I could be better,” he said. “And obviously, having kids completely changes the mindset around everything you do.”
He added: “I’m still quite young – I’d like to think so at least – so I still have a lot of learning left to go. I’m still very much finding myself as a person.”
