In a significant update on the former One Direction star’s tragic death Liam PayneArgentine authorities have ruled out suicide as the cause of his death following an investigation into the circumstances of his fall from a hotel balcony last month. The news was confirmed by Deadline.

The 31-year-old singer, known for his role in the worldwide hit boy band, died on October 16 after falling from a third-floor balcony at a hotel in Buenos Aires.
Local prosecutors have since concluded that Payne’s injuries were not the result of self-harm or any external intervention by others.

His death, according to official autopsy reports obtained by Deadline, was caused by multiple injuries consistent with a fall.
While the cause of death was confirmed as a fall, an additional layer of complexity emerged.
A toxicology report obtained by Deadline showed that Payne had multiple substances in his system at the time of his death.
Before the incident, hotel staff reportedly called police to report an “aggressive” man who appeared to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
The investigation into Payne’s death led to charges against three people, although none of the suspects were arrested.
The charges include “abandonment of a person resulting in death” and “furnishing and facilitating the consumption of narcotics,” according to Deadline.
The three accused individuals were described as being close to the singer and involved in the events that led to his death.
One of the suspects allegedly had a close working relationship with Payne, while another was an employee of the hotel where the incident took place.
The third suspect is accused of supplying the substances found in Payne’s system, according to Deadline.
A judge imposed restrictions on the suspects, including a ban on leaving Argentina. However, no arrests have been made so far. The investigation is ongoing and authorities are working to gather more details about the events that led to Payne’s tragic death.
Liam Payne, born on August 29, 1993 in Wolverhampton, England, rose to fame as a member of One Direction.
