Liam Payne's 5 suspects in full from hotel big wig to trusted close friend

Five people have reportedly been charged over Liam Payne's death, including one of the singer's closest friends. The former X Factor star, 31, fatally plunged from the third floor of the Casa Sur Palermo hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on October 16. A body was found in the hotel's internal patio, and a post-mortem examination found the father-of-one had died of multiple traumas and internal and external bleeding.
Now, four members of staff and one of Liam's friends, multimillionaire businessman Roger Nores, have reportedly been charged in connection with his death. Two people have been remanded in custody and told to appear in court within 24 business hours. Here, The Mirror takes a look at everything we know...
Liam's pal Roger Nores, who said he left the hotel around an hour before the musician fell to his death, has been reportedly charged with negligent homicide and been banned from leaving the country. Earlier this month it was reported that he had refused to answer questions from an investigating judge probing the singer's death. Mr Nores has vehemently denied claims that he abandoned his friend before he plunged from his balcony after reports he was acting 'erratically' in the hotel lobby.
Hotel workers made two 911 phone calls before Liam was found dead. A caller appearing to be the chief receptionist said they had a guest who had taken "too many drugs and alcohol", and was "trashing the entire room", before the line cut out. In a second call, the same caller warned the guest's life "may be in danger" as the room had a balcony, and asked the operator to send someone "urgently".
