One Direction to attend Liam Payne’s funeral tomorrow

Liam Payne’s One Direction band mates will pay their respects at the singer’s funeral tomorrow.

Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson will all be at the service in the Home Counties.

The funeral will be private and attended only by his family and close friends.

A source told The Sun: ‘His family have gone to great lengths to put together the perfect service and give him the send off he deserves.

‘Liam may have been a global superstar but to Geoff and Karen he will always be their little boy.

‘It is going to be an incredibly difficult day.’

The funeral is taking place a month after he died aged 31 after falling from a balcony at  the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

An autopsy confimed his cause of death was multiple injuries sustained in his fall that led to ‘internal and external haemorrhaging.’

Payne also had traces of alcohol, cocaine, and a prescription antidepressant in his system when he died.

Earlier this month, Argentina’s public prosecutor confirmed three people were arrested in connection to Payne’s death.

Two hotel workers are among the three detained, with a friend of Payne’s also having their home raided before being arrested.

The three had been formally charged with ‘abandonment of a person followed by death, supply, and facilitation of narcotics’.

The crimes are punishable by a prison sentence of up to 15 years on conviction, if found guilty.
