by · Birmingham Live

A sick Liam Payne TikTok trend is sweeping the social media site - with trolls posting fake footage. Trolls are posting clips on TikTok claiming it's footage from the ITV The X Factor favourite and Wolverhampton star's funeral in the Black Country.

Liam died after falling from the third floor balcony of a Buenos Aires hotel last month. Two days after his passing, Liam's body was taken in by the British cemetery in the Argentinian capital as investigations into the circumstances around his death began.

An autopsy in the wake of his death determined that the 31-year-old's cause of death was the 25 injuries sustained during his fall. Users of the social media platform have been posting clips from various different funerals and suggesting it is of Liam's.

And devastated fans have reacted with anger, calling the videos out in the comments. The farewell ceremony for the singer is slated to occur at either St.Peters Church or St Pauls Church in Pendeford, which lies nearer to where Liam grew up.

A source confided to Mail Online: "Liam will have a very big send-off, quite probably at a large cathedral somewhere close to his heart. Liam was so loved by so many people, there will obviously be enormous demand and so the service will necessarily be a huge affair."

A source confided to Radar Online that the ceremony will feature a "series of song tributes from some very big acts", honouring his passion for music. It's understood that his family is keen to infuse the service with a unique musical tribute.

Liam had been in Argentina with long-term girlfriend Kate Cassidy, with the influencer sharing in a touching online tribute to her boyfriend that they had planned to tie the knot next year. Kate had left the couple's holiday to return home to the US two days prior to Liam's death.
