In a shocking turn of events, Argentine prosecutors have officially ruled out suicide as the cause of Liam Payne's tragic death, reported three weeks after the incident.

The 31-year-old former One Direction star passed away on October 16 after falling from the third-floor balcony of his hotel room in Buenos Aires.

An autopsy revealed that his injuries were not the result of self-harm or any physical intervention.

Instead, it was confirmed that Payne sustained multiple injuries from the fall.

However, the circumstances surrounding his demise have led to serious legal implications.

Notably, prior to the incident, hotel staff had alerted authorities about "an aggressive man who could have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol."

A subsequent toxicology report indicated that Payne had multiple drugs in his system at the time of his death, casting a shadow over the events leading up to the fall.

As a result, three individuals have been charged with serious offenses, including "abandonment of a person followed by death" and "supply and facilitating the use of narcotics."

The suspects, whose identities have not yet been disclosed, are currently prohibited from leaving the country, although none have been arrested at this time.

Among the suspects is someone who was reportedly close to Payne, a hotel employee, and an individual believed to have provided drugs to the singer.

Born on August 29, 1993, in Wolverhampton, England, Liam Payne first showcased his talent on "The X Factor" at just 14 years old, performing Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon."

Although he faced rejection initially, music mogul Simon Cowell encouraged him to return.

In 2010, Payne successfully auditioned again and was grouped with Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik to form the globally renowned boy band One Direction.

During their six-year run, One Direction released five chart-topping albums, bagged seven Brit Awards, and sold over 70 million records worldwide, creating a massive legacy in pop music.

Following the band's split, Payne ventured into a solo career, releasing his debut album "LP1" in 2019.

As investigations continue into the circumstances of his tragic passing, fans and the music industry mourn the loss of a beloved star who made a significant impact during his time.

Stay tuned for updates on this ongoing story that has left many questions unanswered about the events leading up to that fateful night.
