Formal Charges Filed in Liam Payne's Tragic Death Case in Argentina


Authorities in Argentina have officially charged five individuals connected to the tragic death of singer Liam Payne, according to reports from local news outlet Infobae.

Liam Payne, who fell to his death from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, has been at the center of a legal investigation since the incident. The charges against the five individuals stem from their alleged roles in the events leading up to the singer's untimely demise.

Negligent Homicide Allegations

One of the individuals charged is Roger Nores, a friend of Liam’s, who reportedly left him at the CasaSur Palermo hotel about an hour before the fatal fall. Authorities have charged Nores with negligent homicide, claiming his actions may have contributed to the incident. He has been barred from leaving the country, though it is unclear if he is currently in custody.

Drug-Related Charges

Two other individuals, Braian Paiz, a waiter, and Ezequiel Pereyra, a hotel employee, have been charged with supplying narcotics. Investigators allege that both men provided drugs to Liam Payne, with Paiz admitting to using cocaine with the singer on the day of his death.

Hotel Managers Accused of Manslaughter

CasaSur Palermo hotel managers Gilda Martín and Esteban Grassi are also facing manslaughter charges. Authorities claim their failure to maintain a safe environment contributed to the tragedy.

Court Summons Issued

All five individuals have been summoned to appear in court as the investigation continues to unfold. Earlier this month, a judge had already authorized charges of abandonment against Nores, signaling the seriousness of the case.

Tragic Loss and Industry Shock

Liam Payne's death occurred after he reportedly spent the day drinking whiskey and using cocaine. The news shocked the music world and prompted an intense investigation into the circumstances surrounding his fall.
