Following the tragic incident, TMZ was the first one to report it to the entire world, but they also included lifeless body images of Liam Payne without showing his face.
The now-deleted TMZ body photos of Liam Payne showed the singer’s arms and waist covered with his tattoos.
In the unedited article, they wrote, “TMZ obtained a photo showing Liam’s body on a wooden deck at the hotel with tables and chairs nearby.“
“We’re not showing the whole body, but you can clearly see his tattoo — a clock on his left forearm, and a scorpion on his abdomen,” they added.
Besides that, TMZ also published a photo of the police tent over Payne’s body to prevent images from photographers.

Maybe TMZ became the first one to publish the scoop, but their decision to run the story with graphic images drew public outcry and massive backlash.
Singer Alessia Carra tweeted, “You’re gross @TMZ,” while Rylan Clark of BBC wrote, “TMZ fucking shame on you. Disgrace.“
Another user wrote, “TMZ just did something more disgusting than I even thought they were capable of and the bar was already in hell.“
After getting criticized online, TMZ swiftly removed Liam Payne’s lifeless body images and updated the story with “TMZ has seen a photo showing Liam’s body.”
