Liam Payne’s family is considering legal steps against those potentially responsible for his death at a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. According to reports, the family’s legal team is actively involved in the ongoing investigation.Documents show that renowned music industry lawyer Richard Bray, representing Payne’s family, has handed over legal authority to a local law firm in Buenos Aires. This move allows the family to officially become plaintiffs in any criminal case related to the incident.
A source close to the family said Payne’s parents, Geoff and Karen Payne, along with his siblings, are determined to seek justice. The 31-year-old singer passed away on October 16 after falling from the balcony of his room at the CasaSur Palermo hotel.Prosecutors have already filed charges against two hotel employees for allegedly supplying Payne with drugs. Additionally, a friend who was with Payne at the time is being investigated for not intervening or helping him.
The case has become more alarming after police released photos from a report that appear to show hotel staff forcibly handling Payne and locking him in his room. The exact timestamps on the images are unverified, but it is believed these events occurred shortly before his death.
