Argentina court drops charges against three people over Liam Payne death
Briefly

A court in Argentina has dismissed charges of criminal negligence against three individuals connected to the death of Liam Payne, former One Direction singer, who fell from a hotel balcony. The court determined that the prosecution's claim of negligence lacked sufficient evidence. While two defendants remain in custody for allegations of supplying narcotics to Payne, the court sided with defense arguments suggesting that there was no legal duty to oversee Payne's actions. Autopsy results indicated substances in Payne's system at the time of his death, complicating the narrative of negligence.
The Argentine federal appeals court ruled that three individuals were not criminally negligent in the case of Liam Payne's death, dropping charges against them.
Prosecutors could not prove that the actions of the hotel staff and Payne's associate constituted reckless or negligent behavior during the events leading up to his fall.
