The businessman involved in the investigation had reportedly falsely presented himself as the singer’s manager. The above-mentioned publication reported that the ‘friend’ failed to notify Payne’s family of the singer’s spiral into a drug-addled state and that he did not contact authorities following Liam’s death. They also noted that the accused later spoke with investigators via an attorney. The man is reportedly accused of abandonment of a person, which does not require that he be detained by authorities.

Police reportedly raided nine locations as part of their probe. Of these, eight locations were related to the three accused individuals in the case, while the ninth locale is the rented room of one of two women who were reportedly with Payne in his room hours before his death. The two women were reportedly called to the room by Payne through an escort app called Moans. However, the duo reported wanted $5,000 from Payne, who refused to pay that amount. The women left amid an argument with the artist that spilt into the hotel lobby. This led to the hotel manager calling Payne’s businessman friend to send funds and end the fracas.

Liam tragically passed away on October 16 after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. As per the prosecutor’s statement, the late singer had alcohol, cocaine, and a prescription antidepressant in his system before his death.
