(Buenos Aires, Argentina) – The late superstar and former member of One Direction fell from his hotel balcony in Argentina last month. Toxicology reports found that Payne had alcohol, antidepressants and cocaine in his system at the time of his death.
Argentina’s public prosecutor says someone who was with the late pop star on a daily basis – was charged with abandoning him after his death. Two others have been charged with supplying him drugs during his stay.
A staffer from the hotel where Payne died along with an alleged local drug dealer are part of the group facing charges. Forensic doctors determined that Paynes death was caused by that fall. They also noted he did not adopt a reflex posture as he fell – suggesting that he was either semi or completely unconscious at the time of the accident.
