Pictures of Liam Payne’s corpse spark outrage after chilling images leaked online

The outlet quickly came under fire and deleted the footage after hearing the massive screams from the fans.

Before deleting the photos, they had written: “We don’t show the whole body, but you can clearly see his tattoos: a clock on his left forearm and a scorpion on his stomach.”

However, many eyes were already on the site.

One person tweeted: “TMZ putting part of a photo of Liam Payne’s dead body in an article announcing his death is beyond deplorable.”

“I don’t know if I’ve gone crazy lately or if society has always been so overtly morally dilapidated.” One

Another said: “TMZ f—ing shame on you. Shame.”

Someone else called the outlet’s actions “extremely deplorable.”

Singer Alessia Cara even joined in to condemn the entertainment news channel, calling it “gross.”

Zing Tsjeng, former editor-in-chief of Vice, called the posting of the edited photos “completely indefensible.”

Payne’s fans have also voiced their opinions on TikTok, with one user calling the site “ghosts.”

Another user commented on the clip: “TMZ has no ethics. I blocked them in ’22. Celebrities are only human and most don’t deserve how TMZ treats them.”

Payne was pronounced dead at the scene yesterday after jumping from his third-floor balcony of the luxury Argentinian hotel.

He was found with very serious injuries, including a skull fracture, and was too far gone for resuscitation.

The statement read: “We are completely devastated by the news of Liam’s passing.”

“Over time, and when everyone is able to do so, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, whom we loved dearly.”

It continued: “The memories we shared with him will be cherished forever. For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends and the fans who loved him alongside us.”

Before signing off, they said: “We will miss him terribly. We love you Liam.”
