Five people, including a hotel representative, manager, and receptionist, have been indicted for manslaughter in the death of British singer Liam Payne, who fell from a Buenos Aires hotel balcony in October.
Five people have been indicted in Argentina over the death of British singer Liam Payne , who fell from a Buenos Aires hotel balcony in October after consuming alcohol and drugs, prosecutors said on Monday. Three of the five were charged with manslaughter and the other two with supplying the former One Direction pop star with illegal drugs, prosecutors said, identifying the suspects only by their initials.
The latter two have been ordered to be taken into custody but the others have been allowed to remain free, the prosecutors said. Payne died on October 16 after falling from the balcony of his third-floor room at the Casa Sur Hotel in the Argentine capital. His death at age 31 prompted a global outpouring of grief from family, former bandmates, fans and others, with thousands gathering in cities around the world to offer their condolences.
