Critics have flooded social media with concerns about the ethics of broadcasting such intimate content while his family is still in mourning. Comments on various platforms reflect this sentiment, with one user stating: “The guy’s barely been dead five minutes, and his poor family hasn’t even been able to bring home his body to lay him to rest yet.”
Another user lamented: “Never underestimate Hollywood’s ability to make a penny from a tragic death,” while a third demanded respect for the deceased, calling for a rebranding of the network: “Show some respect, ABC, and rename it Liam Payne Studios… how dare you make a mockery of his death!”
No defensive injuries
Payne, just 31 years old, tragically passed away after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. What has not yet been confirmed is if the fatal fall was intentional or accidental, but it is known that there were no defensive injuries on Payne’s hands.
