The funeral of late One Direction star Liam Payne is set to take place later this week after his body was returned to the UK today following his tragic death in Argentina last month
Almost a month on from his death, Liam Payne 's body will return home to the UK on Wednesday, according to the BBC.
The Strip That Down singer's body had been held in Argentina while local authorities completed further toxicology and laboratory tests. Liam's body was released to his family on Wednesday, public prosecutor Andrés Madrea told the publicly-funded broadcaster. The singer's heartbroken father Geoff Payne has been in the country where his son died over recent weeks.
Earlier this week, Geoff was seen paying respects to his son, observing the sea of floral tributes laid by devastated fans outside the hotel in Buenos Aires. Geoff, visibly moved, joined the mourners, holding a red rose which he later added to the growing memorial. The grieving father was also seen embracing fans who presented him with a candle, which he respectfully placed at the base of a tree adorned with tributes.
It stated: "All the documents are ready for the former One Direction singer to return to his homeland so a funeral can take place there next week. When Geoff Payne reached Argentina on October 18 he was told the repatriation process could take between four and five days, but because of the circumstances surrounding his son's death things took longer than expected."
