Two more people have been charged in connection with the death of the late One Direction singer Liam Payne, bringing the total number to five.
Prosecutors in Argentina have provided a lengthy update on their investigation into the singer's death.
It contained damning new allegations about events leading up to the pop star's 16 October fall from a third-floor balcony at the CasaSur hotel in Buenos Aires.
The document claimed Payne was so drunk and drug-affected in the hours before his death that he was unconscious and could not walk.
The judge declared Payne's friend Roger Nores be "held criminally responsible for the death", because he "abandoned" the singer, "having full knowledge of the state of intoxication, vulnerability and helplessness in which he found himself".
Nores is one of the people who've been charged with manslaughter.
The hotel's manager, Gilda Martin, and receptionist, Esteban Grassi, who prosecutors allege were in the lobby when Payne returned to his accommodation on the day of his death are also charged.
The judge claimed both employees saw Payne "could not stand due to the consumption of various substances".
Prosecutors have also charged Ezequiel Pereyra, another hotel employee, and Braian Paiz, a waiter, with drug supply offences.
Pereyra is accused of selling cocaine to Payne on 15 and 16 October, while Paiz is accused of doing likewise twice on 14 October.
The judge stated that all five people failed to protect the pop star in his final moments.
The matter will proceed to Argentina's court system. None of the five people charged so far have entered a plea.
