Liam Payne's final hours revealed in court as five charged over death

Two people have been charged with supplying drugs and three have been charged with negligent homicide, akin to manslaughter in the UK, following Liam Payne's death in October.

A judge has shared details of Liam Payne's final hours as the Argentinian Public Prosecutor's Office confirmed five have been charged over the singer's death.

Two people have been charged with supplying drugs and three have been charged with negligent homicide, akin to manslaughter in the UK. It comes after the One Direction star tragically fell from his room while staying at the CasaSur Palermo hotel on October 16.

Among the group are the One Direction singer's friend Roger Nores. Members of staff at the CasaSur Palermo hotel, including chief receptionist Esteban Grassi and head of security Gilda Martin have been charged with negligent homicide. Waiter Braian Nahuel Paiz, 24, and hotel employee Ezequiel David Pereyra, 21, have been accused of selling Liam drugs.

Supplying drugs carries a maximum 15 year prison sentence, while negligent homicide carries a sentence of one to five years in Argentina.

The judge and public prosecutor have issued a statement sharing details regarding Liam's final moments, with his death being branded as "forseeable". According to court documents, Liam had been "demanding" drugs and alcohol while staying at the hotel and was left "unable to stand" on October 16 following his "consumption of various substances".

It was further claimed that the singer was "dragged" to his room by the receptionist and two other people and that the manager had allowed this to happen "at least by omission".

The judge went on to suggest that considering Liam's access to the balcony in the room and his "altered consciousness" that the "proper thing to do was to leave him in a safe place and with company until a doctor arrived".

Nores, Liam's friend, was also accused of leaving the singer alone in the hotel in a "state of vulnerability" even though he knew about Liam's past addiction issues and that Nores could "not trust that the rest of the hotel staff would act appropriately".

Liam died aged 31 after falling from the third-floor balcony of his hotel room in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires. A post-mortem examination found that the singer died of multiple traumas and “internal and external haemorrhage."
