An autopsy found a list of narcotics in Payne's system following his fatal balcony fall last month.
Three people have been charged amid an investigation into who provided Liam Payne drugs before his death last month.
On Thursday, prosecutors in Buenos Aires told the Argentinian news outlet, La Nación, they had charged a hotel worker, an alleged drug dealer and a friend of Payne’s in relation to the singer’s fatal fall at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel on Oct. 16. Two of the suspects have been arrested following police raids.
The friend, who allegedly presented himself as Payne’s manager and hid the musical artist’s drug issues from his family, is charged with the supply and facilitation of narcotics and abandonment.
Investigators also claim the friend failed to show up to the scene of Payne’s death on the day of his fall despite being contacted by authorities.
The hotel employee is charged with providing cocaine to the former member of One Direction during his stay at CasaSur Palermo, where he died from injuries sustained in a fall from a third-story balcony.
