We remind you that Liam Payne died on October 16, when his lifeless body was discovered in the courtyard of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, after falling from the balcony of a room on the third floor. The autopsy determined that the artist had alcohol, cocaine and a prescription antidepressant in his system. As part of the investigation that was launched in this case, three people face various preliminary charges for crimes related to his death, according to CNN.
Over time, the musician has spoken publicly about his problems with substance abuse and his mental health. In the summer of 2023, he said he had completed six months of abstinence after completing treatment at a US facility. Later that year, he postponed his tour after suffering a kidney infection.
