(Reuters) -An Argentine judge argued that the manager of former One Direction singer Liam Payne and employees of the hotel where he was staying failed the popstar in the moments before his death and allowed charges against them to proceed, according to a statement from the prosecutor's office on Monday.
Payne fell to his death from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires in October.
