Three people have been charged in connection with the death of One Direction star Liam Payne.

Argentinian Authorities say the singer died on the 16th of last month after falling from the third-floor balcony of a hotel in Buenos Aires.

A person, who accompanied the artist, has been charged with the abandonment of a person followed by death and the supply and facilitation of drugs, according to the National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor's Office.

A hotel employee and a third person have also been charged with supplying drugs.

Payne, 31, a father-of-one, was one of the most recognisable names in pop after appearing on The X Factor and rising to fame with the boyband One Direction in the 2010s.

Argentinian authorities have been investigating Payne's final days at the CasaSur hotel.

After the singer's death, police found substances in his hotel room, and destroyed objects and furniture.

Thousands of fans also remembered the late singer at memorial events in the UK and around the world.
