An Argentine judge has authorized the continuation of manslaughter charges against the staff and manager of a Buenos Aires hotel following Liam Payne's tragic death. Payne, a former One Direction star, died after falling from a hotel balcony, amid accusations of neglect by those responsible for his care.

Authorities claim Payne's manager, the hotel manager, and its receptionist failed to ensure his safety, leading to the accusation of manslaughter with potential five-year sentences. A separate charge alleges a hotel employee and waiter supplied Payne with cocaine, which if proven could result in up to 15 years of imprisonment.

Details released indicate Payne was heavily intoxicated and attempts were made to influence his safety decisions negligently. Surveillance footage showed Payne being carried to his room before his fall, highlighting the management’s alleged oversight. The U.S. manager remains in Argentina as investigations continue.
