Three arrested in connection with Liam Payne’s death

As reported by Argentine officials, three people are currently in custody and facing charges related to the unfortunate demise of British pop star Liam Payne.

Last month, I was tragically involved in an incident at a hotel in Buenos Aires – I fell from the third-floor balcony, leading to my untimely demise. Current investigations are focusing on accusations of negligence, specifically “abandonment of a person followed by death,” as well as drug-related charges like the provision and facilitation of narcotics.

It was confirmed by the Argentine prosecutor’s office that one of the defendants frequently accompanied Payne while he was in town. Prosecutors allege this person left Payne alone during a sensitive period, for which they have brought charges. Furthermore, a hotel worker is accused of giving cocaine to Payne on two separate instances. Lastly, another suspect has been charged with delivering narcotics to Payne on October 14, exactly two days before his demise.

During the investigation, tests on toxicology found traces of alcohol, cocaine, and a recently prescribed antidepressant in Payne’s body. These substances were detected within the preceding 72 hours before his passing. The autopsy concluded that “multiple trauma” and “internal and external bleeding” from the fall led to Payne’s demise. Medical records suggested he might have been either partially or fully unconscious during the incident, implying neither suicide nor external interference as possible causes of death.

After the demise of Payne, his father, Geoff Payne, journeyed to Argentina to retrieve his remains for transportation to the U.K. His death has sparked deep sorrow among fans and relatives, with heartfelt tributes coming in from all corners of the globe, even from his former bandmates and family members. The authorities are still investigating, gathering statements from hotel staff and acquaintances, as well as scrutinizing Payne’s personal effects and surveillance footage from the hotel.
