Liam Payne, singer of One Direction, did not commit suicide, say prosecutors in Argentina

Popular British singer Liam Payne died on October 16 after falling from the third-floor balcony of a hotel in Buenos Aires. Argentine authorities have now ruled out suicide as the cause of his death following an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his fall.

According to official autopsy reports obtained by Deadline, the singer died from multiple injuries consistent with the fall. A toxicology report showed Payne had multiple substances in his system at the time of his death. However, local prosecutors have concluded that his injuries were not the result of self-harm or any outside intervention by others.

Three people “close to the singer” were charged earlier this week in connection with the death. The charges against them include “abandonment of a person followed by death” and “supply and facilitation of the use of narcotic drugs.”

One of the suspects is believed to have had a close working relationship with Payne, while the other was an employee of the hotel where the incident occurred. The third is accused of supplying the substances found in his body.

It is pertinent to remember that the staff of the Buenos Aires hotel had called the police shortly before the tragic fall to report an “aggressive” man who appeared to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
