Rita Ora Pays Tribute To Liam Payne At MTV EMAs

At the MTV Music Awards, stars from around the world paid tribute to Liam Payne, the former One Direction member who tragically died at 31.

Host Rita Ora, fighting back tears, honoured Payne, describing him as having “the biggest heart” and being “the first person to offer help in any way he could.” She shared that he “brought so much joy to every room he walked into,” leaving a lasting impact on those around him.

Payne died on October 16 after falling from a third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. Following his death, three individuals have been charged: a person close to him, a hotel employee, and a suspected drug dealer.

Argentinian prosecutors accused them of “abandonment of a person followed by death” and “supply and facilitation of narcotics.”

Authorities reported that Payne was under the influence of drugs and alcohol at the time, and a post-mortem examination confirmed that he died instantly from multiple traumas and haemorrhaging.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office in Argentina continues to investigate, officially labelling the case as an “inconclusive death.”
