USA - Just over two months after the tragic death of Liam Payne (†31), five people have been arrested in connection with the singer's passing.

After the 31-year-old fell from the third floor of a hotel on October 16, the five people were charged in Argentina .

As People reported, the defendants were the hotel manager, a receptionist and a friend of Payne's.

The BBC stated that the names of the defendants are Gilda Martin, Esteban Grassi and Roger Nores. They are facing manslaughter charges.

In addition, two other people, a hotel employee and a waiter, have been charged with drug trafficking. They are said to be Ezequiel Pereyra and Braian Paiz.

According to the investigation, the hotel employee and the waiter allegedly sold Payne cocaine between October 14 and 16.

The statement went on to say that Payne's friend was charged with manslaughter for allegedly "breaching his duties of care, assistance and support" and abandoning the 31-year-old despite knowing that the singer was suffering from "multiple addictions".

The receptionist was also accused of manslaughter. He was accused of asking three people to take Payne, who could no longer stand on his own two feet, to his room instead of making sure he received medical help.

The hotel manager, the receptionist and Payne's friend face between one and five years in prison. The hotel employee and the waiter, on the other hand, could face four to 15 years in prison if convicted.
