"This is a time of tremendous grief and pain for those who knew and loved him," said the family of Payne's death in October 2024 in a statement

The statement came after Argentinian authorities dropped manslaughter charges last month against three of the people indicted in connection with the singer's death.

The family's statement comes after manslaughter charges were dropped against hotel staff Gilda Martin, Esteban Grassi and Liam's associate, Roger Nores, in the case surrounding the One Direction star's death.
