| Drug Use
Three individuals have been charged in connection with the death of British pop star Liam Payne, who died after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. Argentine prosecutors charged them with 'abandonment of a person followed by death' and 'supplying and facilitating the use of narcotics.' The suspects include a person who was often with Payne, a hotel staffer who allegedly provided him with cocaine, and a drug dealer. The investigation revealed Payne had traces of alcohol, cocaine, and an antidepressant in his system. Authorities ruled out third-party involvement and self-harm, suggesting Payne was in a state of unconsciousness during the fall. The case draws parallels to similar incidents involving celebrities like Matthew Perry and Mac Miller.
