Liam Payne’s Funeral Planned for Next Week Following Death Investigation
Liam Payne’s funeral is reportedly scheduled for next week, with arrangements in place to repatriate the singer’s body to the UK. This comes after an extended investigation into the circumstances surrounding the tragic death of the former One Direction member, who passed away last month at the age of 31.
The singer died after a fall from the balcony of his third-floor hotel room in Buenos Aires. In the aftermath of his death, which occurred two days prior, his body was taken to a British cemetery in the Argentine capital as officials began their inquiries. An autopsy revealed that the cause of death was due to the extensive injuries he sustained from the fall.
Now, nearly three weeks later, the required documentation for Liam’s body to be brought back to the UK has finally been processed, according to the Argentinian publication La Nacion. Initial reports indicated that the repatriation could occur within a week, but the investigation by local authorities has taken longer than expected.
Recently, police conducted a raid at the Casa Sur Hotel, where Liam fell, as part of their investigation into claims that hotel staff may have provided him with drugs prior to his tragic incident. Prosecutors are also considering the possibility that Liam was in a state of semi-consciousness during a drug-related episode on the day of his death.
Liam was in Argentina with his long-time girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, who expressed her grief in an emotional tribute online. She shared that they had plans to get married next year, highlighting the deep connection they shared. Kate had returned to the United States just two days before the incident occurred, a heartbreaking turn in their relationship.
