Three weeks after the tragedy that claimed the life of former One Direction singer Liam Payne, the late singer's body is finally heading home. Authorities in Buenos Aires approved the repatriation of the body back to the UK earlier this week, said a source with knowledge of proceedings. Payne's body left the British Cemetery in Chacarita, Buenos Aires, where it was embalmed, at around 6am this morning, en route to an airport, another source confirmed to the Times. A video circulating on social media showed Payne's father at Ezeiza International Airport, minutes before boarding. Liam Payne's father, Geoff Payne, who has been in Buenos Aires since October 16, on Tuesday visited the hotel where his late son died for a second time.
