a second man, who allegedly supplied drugs to the singer, goes to the police

A second man suspected of supplying drugs to British singer Liam Payne before his death in October 2024 in a Buenos Aires hotel surrendered to the police on Tuesday January 7, 2025.

The 21-year-old went to the Barracas police station (south of Buenos Aires) after his lawyer announced that his client would surrender.

He is one of the employees of the Casa Sur hotel where the ex-member of the boy band One Direction died on October 16 when he fell from the balcony of the 3rd floor of his room.

From one to five years in prison

Friday January 3, a first man prosecuted according to the prosecution for also “delivering cocaine” was arrested.

The Argentine courts established that there had been a “supply of drugs for money” and ordered the detention of the two alleged dealers.

Five people in total are being prosecuted in the investigation into the accidental death of the 31-year-old singer.

The three other people, according to the prosecution, are “RLN, agent of the victim (in Argentina) and who accompanied Payne during this trip to Buenos Aires in order to renew his American visa; the hotel manager, GAM, and the hotel front desk manager, ERG.”

Left free, they face sentences of one to five years in prison.
