In a significant development in the investigation into the death of Liam Payne, Argentine authorities have charged three individuals believed to be connected to the incident. Payne, a British national, tragically fell from the third-floor balcony of his hotel room at Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires on October 16.
According to the Argentine public prosecutor’s office, those charged include a person reportedly close to Payne, a hotel employee, and a suspected drug dealer. The charges include “abandonment of a person followed by death” as well as “supply and facilitation of narcotics,” according to a statement from Prosecutor Andres Esteban Madrea.
Following a thorough investigation, the prosecutor’s office reported that extensive evidence, documentary analysis, and case records led to the formal charges. The 180-page ruling, presented to Judge Bruniard last Friday, included a request for the questioning and formal detention of the three accused.
The prosecutor’s statement provided further insight, revealing that Payne was reportedly not fully conscious or experiencing a noticeable decrease in awareness at the time of his fall. The case has drawn significant media attention and raised questions about the circumstances surrounding the tragic incident. The investigation remains ongoing as the Argentine legal system continues to assess the charges and the involvement of the accused.
