Three people have been charged in connection with Liam Payne's death, as reported by the Argentine prosecutor.

A close associate of the musician has been charged with "abandonment of a person followed by death and supplying and facilitating the use of narcotics." A hotel employee and a drug dealer have also been charged with supplying drugs.

According to the prosecutor, the autopsy report suggests that Payne may have been in a state of semi-consciousness or complete unconsciousness. The prosecutor asserts that this excludes the possibility of any deliberate action by Payne. It was determined that the musician was unaware of his actions during the incident.

The 31-year-old singer Liam Payne died in Buenos Aires after falling from a hotel balcony. Police found drugs in his room, including "crystal," a potent hallucinogen that can cause unconsciousness and psychotic episodes.

Payne arrived in Argentina on September 30 with his girlfriend Kate and close friend Roger Nores.

Argentine media are reconstructing the sequence of events from the afternoon of October 16. At 5:01 p.m. EDT, hotel manager Esteban Grassi called the emergency number seeking assistance for a guest who "abuses alcohol and drugs" and "when conscious, destroys the entire room."

At 5:07 p.m. EDT, the police patrol sent to the hotel reported that a man had fallen from the third floor. Emergency services called to the scene and subsequently pronounced him dead, according to an account from "La Nacion" newspaper.

At 6:10 p.m. EDT, the capital's police officially announced that "British musician Liam James Payne, composer and guitarist, former member of One Direction, died after falling from the third floor of a hotel" in the Palermo district.
