This is how the investigation into the death of Liam Payne progresses

() – Prosecutors in Buenos Aires, Argentina, are advancing their investigation into the death of singer Liam Payne, a source with knowledge of the case told on Friday.

Investigators have interviewed two female companions who were with Payne in the hours before his death, the source said. The women, both 25 years old, testified that they did not see Payne use drugs in front of them, but he did consume alcohol, the person added.

Payne, a former member of the popular boy band One Direction, died on October 16 after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires. He was 31 years old.

Late last month, prosecutors said they were not yet ready to return Payne’s body to his family, pending additional toxicology reports.

A local funeral home is expected to receive the body this weekend, according to a source familiar with the plan.

If the procedures are expedited, Payne’s family could repatriate him to his native United Kingdom next week.
