Argentine charges filed in tragic fall of musician Liam Pyne
The Argentine prosecutor has charged three individuals in connection with Liam Payne's death. The musician passed away in Buenos Aires on 16th October after falling from a hotel balcony.
Three people have been charged with Liam Payne's death, the Argentine prosecutor reported.
A close associate of the musician has been charged with "abandonment of a person followed by death and supplying and facilitating the use of narcotics." Additionally, a hotel employee and a drug dealer have been charged with supplying drugs.
According to the prosecutor, the autopsy report indicates that Payne may have been in a state of semi-consciousness or complete unconsciousness. The prosecutor claims this rules out the possibility of Payne's deliberate action. It was determined that the musician was unaware of his actions during the incident.
