Three individuals have been charged in connection with the tragic death of Liam Payne, the former One Direction star. Authorities in Argentina revealed that the charges stem from the singer’s death after he fell from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires on October 16.
One person, who had been with Payne in his final days, faces charges of “abandonment of a person followed by death.” A hotel employee and a third individual are charged with supplying drugs to the singer. However, the identities of those arrested have not been disclosed.
Liam Payne, 31, known for his time with One Direction and his successful solo career, was found after falling from the third-floor balcony of his hotel in the CasaSur district of Buenos Aires. In the aftermath of his death, investigators found evidence of drug use, including substances in his hotel room, as well as signs of damage to the furniture and belongings. Staff members had called emergency services twice, reporting that Payne was intoxicated, had taken too many drugs, and was destroying the room.
Toxicology reports later revealed traces of alcohol, cocaine, and a prescribed antidepressant in Payne’s system at the time of his death. A post-mortem examination determined that his cause of death was “multiple trauma” and “internal and external bleeding” from the fall.
The prosecutor’s office noted that medical reports suggest Payne may have been in a semi-conscious or unconscious state when he fell, ruling out the possibility of a voluntary act. Authorities are continuing their investigation, including reviewing hours of security footage and examining seized devices, including a damaged laptop.
In addition to the legal proceedings, tributes have poured in for the singer from his former One Direction bandmates, including Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, and Harry Styles, who expressed their devastation and love for their late friend. Fans around the world also gathered to honor Payne’s memory.
The investigation into the circumstances surrounding Liam Payne’s death continues as authorities seek to piece together the events leading up to h
is tragic fall.
