A court in Argentina has dropped charges of criminal negligence against three of the five people indicted in connection with the death of Liam Payne, the former One Direction singer who fell from a third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires last October.

The manslaughter charges filed against a friend of One Direction singer Liam Payne and two hotel employees have been dropped. Roger Nores and the two employees had been charged in connection to the death of the singer, who plunged from a balcony at a Buenos Aires, Argentina hotel in October.

Rogelio "Roger" Nores, who was a friend of Liam Payne, as well as two hotel workers from CasaSur Palermo, had their manslaughter charges dropped by the Argentina Court of Appeals on Wednesday evening in the late One Direction singer's ongoing death investigation.
