00:00Officials in Buenos Aires had said that there could be further charges in Liam Payne's death

00:06and now we are one step closer to that.

00:09There are documents this morning, according to documents that we pulled down in Buenos

00:13Aires, there are two new people, employees at the hotel, who are going to be called before

00:20the judge next week and that could lead to them actually being prosecuted.

00:26The two people, and I think this is very interesting, after what we found out about Liam's condition

00:33in that final day, and remember we had said they were charging his friend for abandonment,

00:40but after everything we heard about the day, we felt like, well, why wouldn't the hotel

00:46staffers abandon him in his hotel room?

00:48Right, the guys, we watched them, Charles, literally take him by arms and legs.

00:51Yeah, carrying him through the lobby and then locking him in his room.

00:56If Roger knew he was in bad shape, they certainly knew.

00:58Right, and that looks like that's what the authorities are looking at now.

01:03The hotel manager and also the hotel receptionist who called 911, those are the two people who

01:11are now possibly going to be charged.

01:13Yeah, this case is going to get very, very interesting at this point because there seems

01:17to be a shifting of blame to who was responsible, who knew that Liam could have been a danger

01:21to himself and obviously did end up being a danger to himself.

01:24The question is going to be who had the duty to take care of him, and obviously the judge

01:28wants to talk to these two hotel employees who indicated that they knew he was possibly

01:32a danger to himself by these 911 calls, and if that's borne out, were they negligent in

01:38keeping him safe during those critical moments?

01:40My name is Will and I'm from Chicago.

01:43So I personally feel like the hotel staff should have called security.

01:47They should have had someone wait for him either by his room or they should have had

01:52someone physically inside of his room.

01:54I used to work at hotels.

01:56Your whole job is to make sure that the guest is safe and make sure the guest is not a threat

02:01to either himself or to other guests as well.

02:04Now do I think that the hotel should get 100% blame for this?

02:08Honestly, no, because I don't think anyone could have anticipated that things would have

02:13ended the way that they did.

02:15So I do understand why charges are brought to them, but I don't think it's fair to fully

02:19blame the hotel for something that it was impossible for them to predict.

02:25Well, I mean, look, there are a lot of different factors at play.

02:28Are they responsible for his actions?

02:30It's tough.

02:31It's tough.

02:32By the way, everyone that has been charged now, so now there are a total of five people

02:36who are possibly facing charges.

02:39They all have dates before the judge next week, and that's when the judge will decide

02:45whether they go forward with prosecuting them.

02:47So it will be a big day in that case, several big days next week.

02:52Well, we have been doing a lot of investigating in this case, and we have put it all together

02:57in a new documentary, which will be premiering Monday night on Fox in primetime.

03:03TMZ investigates Liam Payne.

03:06Who's to blame?

03:07It premieres, again, it's on Monday night, December 16th on Fox, and the next day it

03:11will be on Hulu.
