Three Charged In Connection With Liam Payne’s Death After Fall From Hotel Balcony

Argentinian authorities have charged three individuals in relation to the tragic death of former One Direction singer Liam Payne, who fell from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires last month. Prosecutors confirmed on Thursday that those charged include a close acquaintance of Payne, a hotel employee, and a suspected drug dealer.

Payne, 31, died on October 16 after plummeting from the third-floor balcony of the Casa Sur hotel, located in the upscale Palermo district. An autopsy revealed that Payne had alcohol, cocaine, and a prescription antidepressant in his system at the time of his death. The autopsy also indicated that the singer suffered multiple injuries and internal and external bleeding from the fall. His body was discovered in the hotel’s internal courtyard.

In the investigation, police raided the hotel and seized several items, including hard drives and security camera footage. The charges suggest potential foul play and are part of ongoing efforts to uncover the circumstances leading to Payne’s untimely death.
