Three people have been arrested in relation to the untimely death of Liam Payne.

It’s been confirmed by Argentinian authorities that a staff member from the CasaSur Palermo Hotel, an alleged drug dealer, and a friend of Liam’s are the persons charged.

All three are accused of supplying the former One Direction member with drugs, and the friend — who has not been publicly identified — has also been accused of “abandonment of a person followed by death”.

The authorities also confirmed that Liam had “polydrug use of alcohol, cocaine and a prescription antidepressant in his body” when he died and “was not fully conscious or was experiencing a state of noticeable decrease or loss of consciousness at the time of the fall.”

Liam died after falling from his third-floor hotel room at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel on October 16, 2024.

At the time, the Argentinian prosecutor’s office confirmed that the cause of death was multiple traumas, internal and external bleeding, and a fractured skull that occurred as a result of the fall.

They also said they were treating the case as a “suspicious death” due to evidence collected on the scene that indicated Liam was going through “some kind of substance abuse outbreak”.

Several witnesses told TMZ on October 16 that Liam was acting erratic in the hotel lobby prior to his death; allegedly he smashed his laptop and then had to be carried back to his room.

Local publication La Nacion reported that police were already at the hotel before Liam’s death as they were responding to an emergency call that cited “an aggressive man who could be under the effects of drugs and alcohol.”

Born on August 29, 1993, Liam first rose to fame in 2010 when he competed on The X Factor in the UK.

After failing to qualify as a solo performer, he was grouped with four other contestants — Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik — to form One Direction under the mentorship of Simon Cowell.

One Direction quickly became one of the world’s best-selling boy bands, with global hits like What Makes You Beautiful and record-smashing albums such as Up All Night and Midnight Memories.

After the band broke up in 2015, Liam embarked on a solo career, releasing his debut single Strip That Down featuring Quavo in 2017.

And in 2019, he released his debut solo album LP1.

Liam is survived by his 7-year-old son Bear Grey Payne, whom Liam shared with his ex-partner Cheryl Cole.

Paris Hilton was one of the first of Liam’s friends to pay her respects online.

Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), she wrote:

“So upsetting to hear the news of @LiamPayne passing. Sending love and condolences to his family & loved ones. RIP my friend.”
