The investigation into the untimely death of <keyword id="21128622" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="liam-payne" source="keywords">Liam Payne</keyword>, former member of One Direction, has taken a dramatic new turn as authorities make arrests and uncover additional details surrounding his tragic fall from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. Payne, who was just 30, was found dead on October 16 after falling from a third-floor balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel. New reports now reveal the complex and troubled circumstances leading up to that fatal night. According to an official autopsy obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, Payne had multiple narcotics in his system when he died. The investigation’s spotlight has fallen on two men recently arrested: a hotel maintenance worker and a suspected local drug dealer. Both individuals are accused of supplying Payne with the narcotics, which reportedly included cocaine, as revealed by forensic tests. The investigation has also implicated an Argentine businessman who claimed to be Payne’s manager during the singer's last days. Authorities believe the businessman falsely presented himself in this role and was involved in several incidents that may have contributed to the singer's distress. <h2>Mysterious events</h2>Reports describe Payne’s hotel room as a chaotic environment: there were broken items, alcohol bottles, and narcotics. Witnesses say this tension culminated in a confrontation with two women, identified as "L" and "R," whom Payne had allegedly contacted via an escort app. In a heated encounter, the women reportedly demanded $5,000 from Payne, which led to an argument that spilled into the hotel lobby. The hotel manager attempted to de-escalate the situation by calling the Argentine businessman, who was said to be a friend of Payne. This businessman, however, now faces a charge of "abandonment of a person" for allegedly failing to notify Payne’s family about his worsening state or alerting authorities after his death. Although he has cooperated with police only through his lawyer, he has not been detained. Authorities believe that while he may not have directly caused Payne’s death, his actions could have prevented tragedy if he had intervened sooner. <h2>An expanding investigation</h2>In their search for answers, Argentine police have raided nine locations tied to those involved. They have gathered critical evidence, including nine mobile phones, computers, hard drives, and a jar of marijuana, which they believe may hold clues to what truly happened. One of the nine locations raided was the rented room of "L," who had reportedly spent time in Payne's hotel room before the fatal incident. However, after briefly speaking with authorities, she disappeared, adding another layer of mystery to the case. Neighbours reported hearing a dog barking from her now-vacant room, and police are actively searching for her. As the investigation deepens, Payne’s family is preparing for his body’s return to the UK, where they will lay him to rest. Authorities continue to analyse the extensive evidence collected in hopes of understanding the full scope of events that led to the tragic loss of the young star. (With inputs from agencies)

But Cheryl was like, 'I'm not sleeping upstairs.' So we slept downstairs in the cinema room," he said, adding "First World problems."Payne also told The Sun he believed his flat in London had a few extra ghouls as well. "I was in bed the other night and there was a bang. I tried to do the whole Ghost Adventures recording thing," said Payne. He continued, "I sat in my room going, 'Is anybody there?

Halsey bought Liam Payne's 'haunted' mansion weeks before revealing her pregnancy news

Three cats were found decapitated in south London over the weekend, according to <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/feb/15/south-london-residents-work-with-police-to-find-serial-animal-killer" target="_blank">The Guardian</a>. It's the latest in a series of pet cats that have been discovered dismembered&#xa0;in the capital, which is suspected by south London-based charity&#xa0;South Norwood Animal and Rescue Liberty (SNARL)&#xa0;to date back at least nine months.Boudicca Rising, cofounder of SNARL which is leading investigations, <a href="http://metro.co.uk/2016/04/25/croydon-cat-killers-trail-of-destruction-yet-another-pet-has-been-slaughtered-5838728/" target="_blank">told The Metro</a> she believes&#xa0;the murders are being committed by a single perpetrator: the so-called "Cat Ripper of Croydon" or "Croydon Cat Killer."Who is the Cat Ripper of Croydon?The person behind the attacks is yet to be identified.Rising told&#xa0;<a href="http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/feb/15/south-london-residents-work-with-police-to-find-serial-animal-killer" target="_blank">The Guardian </a>that the murders have all been extremely similar - a sign which typically points to the behaviour of a serial killer.&#xa0;Adam Lynes, a criminologist from Birmingham City University, <a href="http://news.sky.com/story/1645237/croydon-cat-ripper-may-be-keeping-trophies" target="_blank">told&#xa0;</a><a href="http://news.sky.com/story/1645237/croydon-cat-ripper-may-be-keeping-trophies" target="_blank">Sky News</a> that the killer could possibly be keeping the mutilated body parts of the cats they murder as trophies. He said: There are some parallels with serial killers who target humans who take trophies such as watches, underwear, jewellery, or even hair.&#xa0;And it could be the case that this person is keeping the heads and tails (of the cats) as trophies, to re-live the moment.Amber Lewis and her son Liam, below, were the owners of Leo who was one of the many victims of the cat killer, according to <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/apr/23/croydon-cat-killer-mystery-100-animal-deaths" target="_blank">The Guardian</a>.<div></div>When and where was the first attack?It is difficult to say for sure when the person behind the attacks&#xa0;first struck. The RSPCA and animal welfare charities are aware of&#xa0;at <a href="http://metro.co.uk/2016/04/25/croydon-cat-killers-trail-of-destruction-yet-another-pet-has-been-slaughtered-5838728/" target="_blank">least 150 cases</a> of a similar nature stretching&#xa0;back as far as 2013, which they say could possibly all be linked.However, the Croydon Cat Ripper name was first&#xa0;used&#xa0;when a multitude&#xa0;of cat murders were reported between September and December 2015 in the south London borough of Croydon. At least seven cats were found mutilated in the area - an example is&#xa0;<a href="http://metro.co.uk/2015/12/20/charity-offers-2000-reward-to-help-find-machete-wielding-serial-cat-killer-of-croydon-5576655/" target="_blank">9-year-old Missy</a>, who was discovered in a hedge with her head and tail cut off on December 7 last year.Where else have attacks taken place?The spree has become synonymous with the Croydon area in Greater London, but cats have been found with brutal, fatal injuries across the capital. In the last few months, bodies were discovered in&#xa0;<a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3556778/Croydon-Cat-killer-s-150-victims-country-Murderer-thought-struck-four-counties-outside-London-string-similar-attacks-pets.html" target="_blank">Tottenham and Archway</a> in North London and places in the south like&#xa0;Streatham, according to the Daily Mail.Rising <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3556778/Croydon-Cat-killer-s-150-victims-country-Murderer-thought-struck-four-counties-outside-London-string-similar-attacks-pets.html" target="_blank">told the Mail</a>&#xa0;that similar attacks&#xa0;have even been reported in&#xa0;least four counties surrounding the city - Surrey, Hampshire, Bedfordshire, and Kent - and&#xa0;she believes they were committed by the same person.&#xa0; If Rising is correct, that would mean the Croydon Cat Killer has struck in locations over 60 miles away from the south London borough, as the map below&#xa0;shows.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>How many animals have been killed that are believed to be related to the Cat Ripper?Over&#xa0;50 cats have been found murdered&#xa0;in Croydon alone, however,&#xa0;Rising&#xa0;<a href="Rising" target="_blank">told the Mail last week</a>&#xa0;she feared&#xa0;the number could be far greater. She said:We've had attacks from Luton all the way down to Frimley in Surrey and across to Farnborough in Hampshire. The attacks are happening anywhere within the M25 and outside of it.&#xa0;We are being deluged with hundreds and hundreds of calls. Are cats the only victims?No. Rabbits, foxes, and birds have been found murdered in a similar fashion, according to <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/apr/23/croydon-cat-killer-mystery-100-animal-deaths" target="_blank">The Guardian</a>.What are the hallmark signs of a Croydon Cat Ripper attack?The murders aren't just linked by where they took place but by the injuries suffered by the cats. The vast majority of bodies have been found without heads, tails, and paws.&#xa0;Rising said: "We've got so used to seeing the injuries now that we rarely make a mistake." The bodies all showed signs of blunt force trauma, too, according to <a href="http://metro.co.uk/2016/04/25/croydon-cat-killers-trail-of-destruction-yet-another-pet-has-been-slaughtered-5838728/" target="_blank">The Metro</a>. This means the cats could have met their end as a result of being hit with a blunt object or thrown against a wall. A previous theory suggests that some of them may have been knocked down by a car before they were beheaded, according to&#xa0;the publication.What has been said about the attacks?A host of celebrities including actor Martin Clunes, TV presenters&#xa0;Caroline Flack and Dermot O'Leary, and musician Josh Franceschi have <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/feb/15/south-london-residents-work-with-police-to-find-serial-animal-killer" target="_blank">voiced their concern</a> about the threat the Cat Ripper of Croydon poses to the community and its pets. Clunes wrote a letter to&#xa0;Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, the London&#xa0;Metropolitan police commissioner, which read:This is the stuff of nightmares. The local community is understandably distraught and frightened. No one feels safe while this sick individual is on the loose. Research in psychology and criminology shows that people who commit acts of cruelty to animals don't stop there - many of them move on to their fellow humans. That is a scary thought indeedWhat is being done about it?The RSPCA <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/apr/23/croydon-cat-killer-mystery-100-animal-deaths" target="_blank">told The Observer</a> last week that it is working closely with vets who are conducting thorough investigations into 20 cases. It said:Examination of the bodies we have received showed that the heads and tails appear to have been removed by a human. A dedicated team is continuing to work closely with the police and looking into all evidence to see if there is deliberate cruelty involved.Animal rights charity PETA has put up a <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3556778/Croydon-Cat-killer-s-150-victims-country-Murderer-thought-struck-four-counties-outside-London-string-similar-attacks-pets.html" target="_blank">£5,000 reward</a>&#xa0;for information which leads to the killer's arrest, who&#xa0;remains at large.&#xa0;A spokesperson for The Metropolitan police told BI in an emailed statement that investigations are continuing into a number of incidents relating to cat deaths in the Croydon area.&#xa0; <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/avocado-london-pop-up-restaurant-2016-4">This pop-up restaurant only serves food and drinks with avocado in them</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="JvbnZxMjE6bYWO7wb-qlmo3k8b-DGSkz" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>
