Five people have been charged in connection with Liam Payne’s death
News out of Argentina confirmed last night that several people, including hotel workers and a friend of Payne had been charged following his tragic death.
The singer died after falling from his third-floor hotel balcony at the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires on October 30th.
Payne died of multiple traumas and “internal and external haemorrhage,” a post-mortem examination report concluded.
Prosecutors also confirmed that “self-harm” was ruled out and no injuries were found that would suggest the involvement of third parties.
According to reports, the hotel’s manager, a receptionist and a friend of Payne – all only referred to in documents by their initials – have been charged with negligent homicide.
The charge was confirmed by Argentina’s National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office in a statement on Monday.
Meanwhile, two others as well as a hotel employee and waiter have also been charged with supplying cocaine.
Negligent homicide carries a sentence of one to five years in Argentina, and supplying drugs carries a jail sentence of up to 15 years.
More details to follow.
