Although officials have not provided a timeline for the test results, local reports suggest it could take between 10 to 15 days. The prosecutor leading the investigation into Payne's death has been identified as Andrés Esteban Madrea.

If it is confirmed that narcotics were found in the singer's hotel room and contributed to his death, authorities are likely to investigate who provided the drugs, with a potential prosecution to follow.

While many details remain unclear, several Argentinian newspapers have published photos from inside Payne's deluxe suite. The images revealed a burnt fizzy drink can, traces of a white powder speculated to be cocaine , and pieces of aluminum foil on the desk. A crumpled, burnt piece of aluminum foil was also found in the bathroom, and the TV screen in the room had been shattered.

More information about the tragic night has emerged, including the details of a distressing 911 call made by a panicked hotel manager requesting immediate assistance prior to Payne's death.

Argentinian police responded to the hotel on October 16, 2024, after staff reported concerns about a man behaving aggressively, potentially under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

The head of reception made two calls, initially reporting that a guest was causing significant damage to his room. In a second call, following a disconnection, he urged , "We need to send someone with urgency because I don't know if the guest's life is in danger because he is in a room with balcony, and we are afraid he could do something that threatens life."

Numerous distressed fans have gathered at the hotel, with many in tears as they lit candles and placed mementos at a makeshift shrine. Several grieving fans began to sing the One Direction ballad, "If I Could Fly," with the poignant line , "If I could fly, I'd be coming right back home to you."

Payne was staying at the 4-star accommodation in the Latin American country when the fatal fall happened, according to police . As we previously reported, emergency services were called to the hotel to respond to a man acting erratically, possibly under the influence, according to Crescenti.

Crescenti explained to the local media outlet TN that the singer died after he fell from a height of 13 to 14 meters (42 to 45 feet) and described his injuries as "very serious" and "incompatible with life."

Witnesses also reportedly told TMZ that Payne was acting erratically in the hotel lobby earlier in the day. Before the incident, there were allegations that he had destroyed his laptop and required assistance returning to his room.

Several hotel guests confirmed that the singer was seen falling from the third-floor balcony just after 5 p.m. , although it remains unclear whether this was accidental or intentional.

Authorities quickly responded to the scene and set up a red tent over the scene as they began their investigation.Crescenti mentioned that emergency services arrived at 5:11 p.m., just a few minutes after the emergency call. Unfortunately, there was no possibility of saving Payne, whose identity was only confirmed after he was pronounced dead .

Payne had been in Argentina earlier in the month to reunite with his former One Direction bandmate, Niall Horan , who was having a concert. The 31-year-old singer had been a key member of the globally successful boy band, joining the group at age 16 when they were launched on "The X Factor." They achieved massive international fame before disbanding in 2015.

Payne is survived by his son, Bear, whom he shares with singer Cheryl Cole. The couple confirmed they were expecting their first child in November 2016, with Bear born in 2017.

In a 2018 interview, Payne discussed the joys and challenges of fatherhood. "I always wanted to be a young dad, but I didn’t really expect that I’d ever be in this place," he told People.

The singer also humorously referred to himself as “Dada Montana” as he balanced his music career with being a parent. Our prayers go out to his family and all the fans who loved him.

Guitar icon Jake E. Lee found himself in the middle of a terrifying shooting that left him hospitalized. The shocking incident has left the rock world stunned.

Jake E. Lee, the legendary guitarist who once rocked stages alongside Ozzy Osbourne, is recovering in the hospital after a terrifying incident in Las Vegas. Lee was shot multiple times early Tuesday morning while simply taking his dog for a walk.

TMZ first reported that the musician was struck by several bullets in what authorities believe was a "random" street shooting. Fortunately, despite the severity of the attack, Lee's condition is stable.

His manager, Tim Heyne, told The Associated Press, "By the grace of God, no major organs were hit, he's fully responsive, and expected to make a full recovery."

Currently, Lee remains in an intensive care unit but is fully conscious and showing promising signs of recovery. The Las Vegas Metro Police Department confirmed that no arrests have been made.

The authorities claim that they do not believe the guitarist was specifically targeted. The investigation into the 2:40 AM shooting is ongoing, with police describing it as an unpredictable act of violence.

In the wake of Lee's recent shooting incident, fellow guitarist Brad Gillis took to X to express his support. "I just heard about Jake E. Lee. Glad to hear he is doing well. My thoughts are with ya, buddy[sic]!" wrote the musician.

Mark Strigl, a host at SiriusXM, also shared his concern, writing , "Thinking of and praying for Jake E. Lee." As news of the incident spread, many in the music community have voiced their sympathy including Osbourne.

The rocker and TV personality took to Instagram to wish his former bandmate a speedy recovery. In a touching post, the rock icon shared a throwback photo of the two musicians together, paired with a heartfelt message.

He wrote , "It's been 37 years since I've seen Jake E. Lee, but that still doesn't take away from the shock of hearing what happened to him today. It's just another senseless act of gun violence. I just hope he'll be ok."

Fans and rock enthusiasts quickly rallied in the comments, sending an outpouring of well-wishes for Lee's recovery. One user wrote , "With Ozzy getting older, I think now is aa good as time as ever to reunite, if only a private visit[sic]."

Another added , "Definitely some unnecessary gun violence. I hope Jake is Ok. Ozz,[sic] you should keep in contact and if you release more music, invite Jake. He was great with you."

A third comment echoed the sentiments of many rock fans, urging Osbourne to collaborate with his former guitarist once again. "Love you Jake! Oz, you better bring him on board to rip a solo on your next album," the person wrote .

In a 2022 interview, Osbourne reflected on his time working with Lee, acknowledging the guitarist's talent. He noted that having a strong guitarist is crucial for the success of a band, explaining that "when you've got a crap one, the band is crap, but when you've got someone who shines..."

He went on to describe Lee as a great guitarist, though admitted that their relationship had been strained due to outside influences. Osbourne shared that his former drummer, Randy Castillo, had turned him against Lee, which was unfortunate, as he had no personal issues with him and still recognized Lee's abilities.

In a 2014 interview on SiriusXM’s "Trunk Nation," Lee revealed that he wrote most of the music for Osbourne's 1983 album "Bark At The Moon" alongside bassist Bob Daisley but didn't receive any credit due to an agreement with Osbourne and the record label at the time.

During the interview, Lee recalled that he had been promised songwriting credit and publishing rights. However, after completing his guitar work on the album, he was presented with a contract stating that Osbourne had written all the songs.

The contract further stipulated that Lee had no involvement in the songwriting and was prohibited from publicly claiming otherwise.

Lee, born in Norfolk, Virginia, and raised in San Diego, made a name for himself in the 1980s. Before rising to prominence, Lee played in several bands, including an early version of Ratt. His big break came in 1982 when he joined Osbourne's band, staying until 1987.

After his time with Osbourne, Lee formed the metal band Badlands and later pursued a solo career, releasing two albums. Most recently, he has been the driving force behind the band Red Dragon Cartel. Now 67, Lee's influence on the rock and metal scene continues to resonate.

Meanwhile, Osbourne has continued to thrive in his own right, though he has faced significant health struggles in recent years. In 2023, the Black Sabbath legend reflected on his surprising longevity, admitting he often wonders why, among all his friends, he's still alive.

Osbourne has lost people close to him in the past, including all of his drinking partners. He even claimed "graveyards full of them" exist. However, he believes he should have passed way before they did.

"Why am I the last man standing? I don't understand any of it," he asked in confusion before saying , "I'm not boasting about any of it because I should have been dead a thousand times. I've had my stomach pumped. God knows how many times."

In 2019, Osbourne experienced a fall that brought out issues from an old spinal injury. He has had several procedures to fix the problem, including one where two metal plates screwed to his spine were removed. At one point, he experienced severe nerve pain that made him pray not to wake up the following morning.

Although his condition has since improved, he still experiences challenges with his mobility at times. "My feet feel like I've got bricks tied to them when I'm walking," he said .

Still, in 2023, Ozzy Osbourne revealed that he was going to have his last surgery on his neck as he could no longer take it. According to the performer, he had his mind set on having no more surgeries, regardless of how the procedure turned out.

In addition, Osbourne was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2003 while in rehab. He kept the sickness a secret from the media until early 2020. Fortunately, his Parkinson's is still mild with bearable struggles.

With the encouragement of his daughter, Osbourne has become more active and tries to manage his mental state with antidepressants. He also takes other medications for his Parkinson's.

Despite his health issues, Osbourne does not fear death . What he wants to avoid is being in a miserable state while still living in pain. He believes he still has ten years left and is living life to the fullest until then.

Stunning photos of a young Betty White

Born on January 17, 1922, in Oak Park, Illinois, Betty White’s career spanned seven decades and was filled with memorable roles that showcased her versatility and charm.

White was a pioneer from the start, creating, producing, and starring in “Life with Elizabeth” in the 1950s, making her one of the first women to exert control in the male-dominated television industry. Her blend of sweetness and wit won hearts on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” as Sue Ann Nivens, earning her two Emmy Awards.

However, it was her role as Rose Nylund on “The Golden Girls” that solidified her status as a beloved cultural icon.

Beyond acting, White was a dedicated animal welfare advocate, supporting various organizations and serving on the board of the Los Angeles Zoo Commission.

White continued to entertain and inspire throughout her life, even hosting “Saturday Night Live” at the age of 88 after a massive fan campaign on Facebook, earning yet another Emmy for her performance.

Betty White passed away on December 31, 2021, just shy of her 100th birthday.

Ethan's world turns upside down when he rushes back from a business trip to find his wife in the ER. His heart races with worry, but nothing prepares him for the sight of another man sitting by her bed. The man's revelation threatens to unravel everything Ethan thought he knew about his marriage. Who is this stranger, and what secrets does he hold?

Life seemed perfect.

I'd been married to Isabel for eight years. We had a beautiful home, and I thought we had an ideal life.

Every morning, I woke up early to head to work, making sure I did my best to provide for us. Isabel and I had built a comfortable life together, and I believed that my hard work kept her happy.

Isabel was more than just my wife; she was my best friend. We'd laugh together, share our dreams, and talk about our future. I tried to be a good husband, doing everything I could to make her feel cherished.

One evening, as I sat on our porch, I watched the sunset and felt a wave of contentment.

"We really do have a great life, don't we?" I said to Isabel as she joined me. She smiled and nodded, but there was something in her eyes I couldn't quite read.

"Yeah, Ethan, it's wonderful," she replied softly.

I didn't press her. I figured she was just tired from the day. We had our ups and downs, like any couple, but I always believed we'd work through anything together.

I was wrong.

I was about 40 miles out of town on a business trip, driving down the highway, when my phone rang.

I didn't recognize the number, but something told me to answer it. "Hello?"

"Is this Ethan?" a woman's voice asked.

"Yes, who's calling?"

"This is Nurse Karen from the local hospital. Your wife, Isabel, is in the ER. She's unconscious."

My heart stopped. "What happened? Is she okay?"

"She was brought in a little while ago. I don't have all the details yet, but you need to come to the hospital as soon as possible."

Panic surged through me. "I'll be there right away."

I hung up and immediately pulled off the road, my hands trembling as I tried to steady my breathing. Isabel was in the hospital, unconscious. My mind raced with worry. What could've happened? She was fine when I left this morning.

I turned the car around and started driving back to town, my foot heavy on the gas pedal. The usually scenic drive now felt like a nightmare. Every mile seemed longer than the last, my thoughts consumed with fear for Isabel.

I kept imagining the worst-case scenarios, each one more terrifying than the last.

"Please be okay, Isabel," I whispered to myself, gripping the steering wheel tightly. The road ahead blurred as tears welled up in my eyes. I wiped them away, trying to focus on getting back as quickly as possible.

I called the hospital again to get more information, but they could only tell me that she was still unconscious and being treated. The uncertainty was killing me. My thoughts kept jumping to what could've gone wrong. Was it an accident? A sudden illness?

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I reached the town limits. The hospital was just a few minutes away now. I prayed silently, hoping and begging for Isabel to be okay. I couldn't lose her. Not like this.

As soon as I arrived, I raced through the hospital doors, my heart pounding.

"Where is my wife?" I asked frantically at the nurse's station. "Isabel Williams. I got a call that she's here."

The nurse looked puzzled. "That's odd. I thought her husband brought her in. He's with her now."

My confusion grew. "I'm her husband," I insisted, my voice rising with panic.

She pointed down the hall. "Room 12."

I hurried to the ward, my mind spinning. When I entered the room, I saw a man sitting next to Isabel's bed, holding her hand. He looked up as I approached.

"Who are you?" I demanded, my voice shaking with anger and fear.

"I'm Logan," he replied calmly. "Her... lover. We've been dating for a year. We got into an accident while you were on your business trip. I brought her here and asked the nurse to call you."

My fists clenched, and I felt a surge of anger. I wanted to hit him, to yell, to do something. But I forced myself to stay calm. "You're her lover?" I asked, struggling to keep my voice steady.

"Yes," Logan said. "But I know she loves you. She just felt neglected because you were always so busy with work."

I stood there, trying to process what he was saying.

Isabel had a lover? She felt neglected? I couldn't believe it. I looked at her lying there, unconscious, and my heart ached.

As we waited for Isabel to wake up, Logan continued to talk. "I care about her a lot, Ethan. But she always talked about you, how much she missed the way things used to be. She felt like you were drifting apart, and she didn't know how to tell you."

His words cut deep. I had been working so hard, thinking I was doing the right thing for our family. But I had been blind to Isabel's feelings. I glanced at Logan, seeing the sincerity in his eyes, and felt a mixture of anger and guilt.

"Why didn't she talk to me?" I asked, more to myself than to him.

Logan shrugged. "Maybe she was afraid. Maybe she thought you wouldn't listen. I don't know. But she's here now, and she needs you."

I took a deep breath, trying to steady my emotions. I had to focus on Isabel and getting her through this.

"She wanted attention and affection," Logan confessed, his voice soft. "That's why she cheated."

A deep pain pierced my heart. I felt like I couldn't breathe.

"I love her," I said quietly, my voice barely a whisper. "I thought working hard was the best way to take care of her. I was wrong."

"I get it, Ethan. You were doing what you thought was right. But she needed more than that."

I looked at Isabel, lying there so still, and my heart ached. How had I missed it? How had I not seen what she needed? The guilt and sorrow weighed heavily on me.

Logan sighed. "I'm the one who told the nurse I was her husband. I didn't want to complicate things when I brought her in. I'm sorry for the confusion."

I shook my head, trying to process everything. "I appreciate that you brought her here," I said, even though it was hard to get the words out. "But this is something Isabel and I need to face together."

Logan nodded again. "I understand. I'll step back. She needs you now."

Suddenly, Isabel's eyes flutter open, her gaze unfocused at first. Then, she looked around with confusion before her eyes settled on me.

"Ethan," she said, smiling weakly. Relief washed over me.

"I'm here, Isabel," I said, squeezing her hand gently.

She turned her head and saw Logan. "Who are you?" she asked, her voice soft.

Logan smiled gently. "I'm your husband's work colleague," he lied smoothly. Then, leaning close to me, he whispered, "Make her happy."

I nodded, appreciating his understanding. Logan gave Isabel one last look before leaving the room. His words echoed in my mind. Make her happy . It felt like a second chance, a fresh start.

I turned back to Isabel, who was watching me with a mix of confusion and trust.

"How are you feeling?" I asked softly.

"A bit disoriented," she admitted, "but I'm okay. What happened?"

"We'll talk about it later," I said, brushing a strand of hair from her forehead. "Right now, just rest. I'm here with you."

She nodded, her eyes closing again as she relaxed.

What should I do? Should I tell her the truth?
