An Argentinian appellate court has dismissed involuntary manslaughter charges against three individuals linked to the death of One Direction singer Liam Payne, based on a recent ruling.
Meanwhile, two others charged with supplying drugs to the former boy band member remain in custody as they await the commencement of their trial, according to the court’s decision issued yesterday.
The ex-One Direction singer-songwriter had openly discussed his battles with substance abuse and the challenges of achieving fame at a young age.
His passing elicited a worldwide wave of sorrow from family, former bandmates, and fans, with thousands gathering in mourning across the globe.
However, legal actions will proceed against Ezequiel David Pereyra and Braian Nahuel Paiz—staff members of the Casa Sur Hotel—who are accused of providing the drugs.
One Direction, which was one of the highest-grossing live acts of the 2010s, entered an indefinite hiatus in 2016.
