Liam Payne’s funeral is scheduled to take place next week, following the tragic death of the former One Direction star.
Reports indicate that his body will be flown back to the UK within the next 48 hours after authorities in Argentina completed their investigation into the circumstances surrounding his fall from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires.
The 31-year-old singer, known for his soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics, died last month after reportedly acting erratically before the incident. An autopsy revealed he sustained 25 injuries from the fall.

Liam’s father, Geoff Payne, initially anticipated a quick return for his son but faced a prolonged investigation that delayed the process.
Meanwhile, Argentinian police are probing potential drug-related activity connected to Liam’s final days.
Allegations suggest that he may have been given substances by hotel staff, who are now under investigation for possibly smuggling drugs.
