Liam Payne funeral
The One Direction star tragically passed away on October 16 at the age of 31 after he fatally fell from the third floor balcony of his hotel room in Argentina, as an autopsy revealed that he suffered internal and external bleeding as a result of the fall.
It was announced last week that three people have been charged in connection to the stars death in Southern America.
One individual who was accompanying the singer daily in Argentina, is being charged with abandonment of a person followed by death, which could result in 15-years in prison, whilst the other was an employee at the hotel where Liam was staying, and the third person who allegedly supplied the singer with the drugs.
