In a shocking new development, three people have been arrested in connection with the death of former One Direction singer Liam Payne. The singer tragically fell from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on October 16, and as authorities continue to investigate, disturbing new details are emerging.
Abandonment and Illegal Substance Facilitation
The three individuals arrested are facing serious charges. According to Argentina’s National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office, they have been charged with “abandonment of a person followed by death” and “the supply and facilitation of narcotics”. One of the suspects, who had been with Payne during his stay in Buenos Aires, is accused of abandoning the singer when he was in a vulnerable state, which ultimately contributed to his fall.
Another suspect, a hotel employee, is charged with providing cocaine to Payne on two separate occasions while he was staying at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel. A third suspect, described as a narcotics dealer, allegedly sold illegal drugs to the singer just days before the fatal incident.
Toxicology Reports and Investigation Findings
The investigation was significantly advanced by over 800 hours of security footage from the hotel. This footage helped authorities piece together the timeline leading up to Payne’s fall, confirming he was in a severely impaired state when he fell from the balcony.
Toxicology reports have now revealed that Payne had alcohol, cocaine, and a prescription antidepressant in his system at the time of his death. Authorities confirmed that he was under the influence of drugs for several days leading up to the fall. The results suggest that at the time of the fall, Payne was either in a state of semi-consciousness or fully unconscious, making it impossible for him to react or prevent the deadly incident.
No Evidence of Self-Harm or Foul Play
Authorities have ruled out the possibility of self-harm or foul play by a third party. The official cause of death was determined to be multiple trauma and internal and external hemorrhaging caused by the fall from the third-story hotel balcony.
This tragic incident has sent shockwaves through the music community and Payne’s fanbase, as many questions remain about the circumstances surrounding his final days. As investigations continue, the truth behind what happened to Liam Payne is becoming clearer, and the involvement of drugs and neglect is central to the case.
