The full transcript from a 911 call made moments before Liam Payne died has been released.

At around 5pm local time on Wednesday (16 October), police were called to the CasaSur hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

A man, who was later identified as former One Direction member Liam Payne, had fallen from the balcony of his room.

The 31-year-old star had been in Argentina for the concert of former bandmate Niall Horan, who played in the South American capital on October 2.

Payne stayed in Argentina with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy, who returned to the UK two days before his death.

After the singer's death, police confirmed they were called over reports of an 'aggressive man who could be under the effects of drugs and alcohol'.

Speaking on Argentina's Todo Noticias TV channel, head of the state emergency medical system, Alberto Crescent, said: "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."

Audio from the Buenos Aires security ministry, obtained by Reuters, of the 911 call was shared earlier today and now the full 911 call transcript has been translated and released.
