The hotel employee and alleged dealer are both charged with providing narcotics while the third person is charged with providing narcotics and abandonment of a person followed by death.

Payne, along with Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson, formed the popular boy band “One Direction” on a reality competition show in 2010 before the group announced an indefinite hiatus in 2016. Before his death, Payne posted to Snapchat that he was in Buenos Aires to attend a concert by Horan.
