Three people have been arrested in Argentina for their connection to British singer Liam Payne’s tragic death last month.
Details of the Investigation
Authorities in Argentina confirmed on Thursday that three individuals have been charged in connection with Payne’s death. A statement from the prosecutor’s office revealed that Payne had been found with traces of alcohol, cocaine, and a prescribed antidepressant in his system. These findings were noted in an autopsy conducted shortly after his death.
On the day of his passing, a hotel staff member made an emergency call, reporting that Payne had been behaving erratically, potentially influenced by substances, and acting aggressively. This call, placed to emergency services, brought police to the scene but unfortunately did not prevent the tragic incident.

The Argentine authorities identified three individuals as potentially involved in circumstances leading to Payne’s tragic fall. These include an alleged drug supplier, a hotel staff member reportedly seen providing Payne with cocaine during his stay, and a third person who was close to Payne. This third individual is accused of “abandonment of a person leading to death.”
