Following the passing of former One Direction member Liam Payne, three individuals have been charged in Argentina.
Details on Liam Payne
After falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the singer passed away on October 16. According to Argentine prosecutors, one individual has been accused of providing and facilitating drugs as well as abandoning someone and causing their death. Both a third party and a hotel employee have been accused of distributing drugs.
The prosecutor’s office reported that: “Illicit conduct was discovered from which three people were charged with the crimes of abandonment of a person followed by death, supply and facilitation of narcotics.”
The press release continued: “Based on the evidence gathered and after analysing the various bodies of proceedings and numerous documentary annexes and the background of the case, prosecutor Andres Esteban Madrea formally charged three people, requesting their questioning and arrest in a 180-page ruling presented last Friday to Judge Bruniard.”
The statement also said that 800 hours of video footage from security cameras at the hotel and on surrounding roads had been examined by officials, who had performed forensic examination on Liam Payne’s phone, including his call and message history. His laptop, which was found shattered in his hotel room, is the subject of additional investigations.
Prosecutors have rejected “self-harm” and ruled out the possibility that a third party was involved in the star’s death. “Although other medical background information from the victim’s clinical history must still be analysed, the phenomenon of the lack of defence or self-preservation reflex in the fall, together with other relevant data from his consumption, allow us to conclude that Liam Payne was not fully conscious or was experiencing a state of noticeable decrease or loss of consciousness at the time of the fall,” the statement continued.
How did Liam Payne Die?

The singer’s girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, was among the many tributes that poured in after his passing. She said on social media: “I appreciate all of the kindness and nice thoughts that have been directed to me. I’ve been completely lost. The last few days have not felt genuine at all. I pray and ask that you provide me the discretion and room I need to deal with this privately.
