A judge has detailed Liam Payne's final hours and charged five people in connection with his death, including negligent homicide and drug supply.
Liam Payne's final hours have been detailed by a judge as five people are charged over his death. Three people have been charged with negligent homicide - similar to manslaughter in UK law - and two have been charged with supplying drugs, the Argentinian Public Prosecutor's Office said. The 31-year-old pop star died after he fell from a third-floor balcony at the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires on 16 October.
Negligent homicide carries a sentence of one to five years, while supplying drugs carries a sentence of up to 15 years. Roger Nores, described as a 'representative' of Payne, was one of those charged with negligent homicide, alongside hotel manager Gilda Martin and receptionist Esteban Grassi. A hotel employee, Ezequiel Pereyra, and waiter, Braian Paiz, have been charged with supplying drugs on two occasions. All five have been summonsed to appear in court. Liam Payne's final hours A statement from the judge and public prosecutor details the final moments before his death. They said Payne had been 'demanding' drugs and alcohol during his stay at the hotel. On 16 October, Payne was in the hotel lobby and 'unable to stand' due to the 'consumption of various substances', the court document said. The receptionist and two others 'dragged' the singer to his room, and the manager allowed this to happen 'at least by omission'. Given Payne's 'altered' consciousness and the access to a balcony from the room, the 'proper thing to do was to leave him in a safe place and with company until a doctor arrived', according to the judge. They also accused Payne's representative, Nores, of leaving Payne on his own in the hotel in a 'state of vulnerability', despite knowing about Payne's previous addiction problems and the fact Nores could 'not trust that the rest of the hotel staff would act appropriately'. The judge described Payne's death as 'foreseeable'
