Argentine authorities have indicted five people in connection with the death of Liam Payne, the former One Direction singer who fell from a third-floor balcony at a hotel in Buenos Aires in October.

Three of those indicted are employees of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel where Payne died, according to a statement from the local prosecutor’s office.

A toxicology report from tests taken after an autopsy said that Payne, 31, had cocaine, alcohol and a prescription antidepressant in his system when he died Oct. 16, according to the local prosecutor’s office. The statement suggested that his death was not a suicide because of the determination that Payne fell while in a state of unconsciousness. The autopsy indicated that the singer died of “multiple trauma” and “internal and external bleeding.”

The five people were indicted Dec. 27 by the investigating judge, Laura Bruniard, who noted that footage from the hotel showed that Payne was unable to care for himself.

In indicting the defendants, Bruniard has decided to proceed toward a trial based on evidence collected by the prosecutors. Now, under Argentina’s legal system, the defendants’ lawyers may appeal that decision before a prosecutor decides to request a trial after considering all of the evidence.

The hotel’s manager, Gilda Martin, and its chief receptionist, Esteban Grassi, as well as a friend of Payne, businessperson Rogelio Nores, are accused of being negligent in regards to the singer’s death. The charge they each face, negligent homicide for a professional, carries a sentence of one to five years in prison in Argentina.

The statement from the prosecutor’s office identified all the defendants by their initials as is typical at this stage of a criminal proceeding in Argentina. It said that Martin and Grassi were in the hotel lobby and noticed Payne’s inebriation, which at times was so severe he was unable to stand.

The statement said the three people should have kept Payne away from the danger of his hotel room until he received medical care. Grassi is also accused of directing three people to drag Payne to his room.

Nores, whom authorities have described as someone who was with Payne on a daily basis during his trip to Buenos Aires, is accused of failing to comply with his duties of care by leaving Payne alone while intoxicated. Prosecutor Andres Madrea had previously requested he be charged with the more serious crime of abandonment of a person followed by death, which carries a sentence of five to 15 years in prison.

A CasaSur Palermo hotel employee, Ezequiel Pereyra, and a local waiter, Braian Paiz, were indicted on a charge that they supplied narcotics to Payne in the days leading up to his death.

Pereyra and Paiz have been ordered into custody; Bruniard said preventive detention was needed because the charge leveled against them carries a sentence of between four and 15 years in prison and cannot be suspended.

Lawyers for several of the defendants could not be reached for comment, but a lawyer for Paiz, Fernando Madeo, said his client was not guilty and that he would be appealing the charge. He objected to his client being detained before trial, calling it absurd. “There is no danger of flight,” he said.

The three defendants accused of negligence in Payne’s death were not ordered into custody. However, Nores, a U.S. national, has been directed to not leave Argentina. Lawyers for Payne’s family declined to comment on the indictment.
