In October 2024, former member of the pop group One Direction Liam Payne died after falling from the balcony of his hotel room in Argentina.
UK law enforcement agencies have launched their own investigation and concluded that the artist died of “multiple injuries”, Sky News reports . Details of the case have not yet been provided.
A preliminary autopsy had previously found that Liam died of “internal and external” haemorrhaging. He “reflexively failed to assume a protective posture” before falling. This could indicate that the artist fell from the balcony unconscious or semi-conscious.
As a result of the fall, the singer suffered a basal skull fracture and other serious injuries incompatible with life.
Five people who were in some way close to Payne in his final days have now been charged with his death .
