Three people of interest have reportedly been detained in connection to the death of former One Direction star Liam Payne.
The British pop star died on October 16, at the age of 31, after falling from the third-story balcony of his hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Payne was discovered to have had “multiple substances” in his body at the time of his death, an initial autopsy report stated.
“Police detained two hotel workers accused of supplying the drugs and raided the home of a friend, also detained,” ABC World News Tonight’s David Muir announced on the Wednesday (November 6) broadcast, nearly a month after his death.
While Payne was discovered to have been alone when he died, investigators found what appeared to be narcotics, alcohol and broken furniture strewn across the hotel room.
However, before his death, the desk manager at the hotel made a 911 call to the emergency services saying that a guest drunk “on drugs and alcohol” was “breaking everything in the room.”
