The Argentinian police are investigating several different leads connected to Liam Payneβs death. The One Direction singer tragically died on 16th October. He fell from a balcony in the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires. The police are no longer treating his death as a suicide.
Hereβs an explanation of all the different leads which we know the police are following around Liam Payneβs death.
The missing rolex
The Argentinian police still havenβt found Liam Payneβs watch, almost a month after his death.
So, Liam Payne owned a Rolex watch, which some media outlets have reported was worth $60,000 (Β£47,800). Witnesses spotted him wearing it on the afternoon he died. But, we donβt know yet what happened to this watch. The police didnβt find the Rolex on his body, or in his room at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel, or anywhere else.
A source linked to the investigation told the Argentinian paper La Nacion, βWe know from images that have been analysed that Liam had the watch on the day of his death. He had it in one of his hands and he had it at least two to three hours before his fatal hotel fall.
βWe looked for it in his hotel room and couldnβt find it. The watch was searched for in the homes of the three people being investigated on suspicion of abandoning Liam and the supply and facilitation of drugs, as well as in the homes of the two women who were with him in his room the afternoon he died.
