Liam Payne’s cause of death confirmed as polytrauma after tragic fall from hotel balcony in Buenos Aires

Liam Payne’s untimely death, which shocked fans worldwide, has been confirmed following a UK inquest.

The former One Direction star tragically fell from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in October.

Payne had been staying at the Casa Sur hotel when the accident occurred, after reportedly engaging in a binge involving drugs and alcohol.

The confirmation of his cause of death has now been made public, with authorities citing “polytrauma,” meaning multiple traumatic injuries to his body.

Investigations and Charges in Argentina

As investigations into the circumstances of Liam Payne’s death continue in Argentina, five individuals have been formally charged.

These include Payne’s friend, hotel staff, and a waiter, all facing various charges, including manslaughter and drug-related offenses.

The charges relate to events surrounding the singer’s final hours, with accusations that some failed to provide proper care and attention when needed.

Hotel employees, including the manager and a receptionist, are also accused of failing to act appropriately to ensure Payne’s safety.

Court documents suggest that his friend, Roger Nores, abandoned him at a vulnerable time, knowing he was unable to care for himself due to his addiction struggles.

Two hotel workers have been charged with supplying cocaine to Payne prior to the incident.

The Aftermath: A Heartfelt Funeral and Ongoing Legal Proceedings

Following Payne’s tragic passing, his family and friends, along with former bandmates, gathered for an emotional funeral in Buckinghamshire, England.

The ceremony was attended by notable figures from the music world, including Cheryl Tweedy, Payne’s ex-partner and the mother of his son Bear, as well as fellow One Direction members Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson.

In Argentina, legal proceedings are still underway.

A judge has ruled that the individuals involved played a role, albeit unintentionally, in creating the circumstances that led to Payne’s death.

The legal process is expected to take time as authorities continue to gather evidence and testimonies.
