Liam Payne’s tragic death on October 16 has sparked intense scrutiny of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, where he fell from a third-floor balcony. Roger Nores, a close friend of
Payne, has publicly blamed the hotel for the singer’s untimely demise, asserting that its management failed to ensure his safety during a critical time357.
Nores, who was one of the last people to see Payne alive, is under investigation for alleged abandonment. He claims he left the hotel shortly before the incident, insisting that multiple individuals were present with Payne at that time35.
Despite these assertions, authorities are examining whether Nores neglected his duty to monitor Payne, who had reportedly been consuming alcohol and drugs prior to the fall410.
The autopsy report revealed that Payne suffered “multiple traumatic injuries” and “internal and external bleeding” from the fall. Toxicology tests indicated the presence of alcohol, cocaine, and a prescription antidepressant in his system124.
Investigators believe he may have been semi-conscious or unconscious when he fell, ruling out suicide as a cause26.
Nores’ legal team has filed documents alleging negligence on the part of the hotel, claiming it lacked a 24-hour doctor as required by law.
They argue that hotel staff were aware of Payne’s intoxicated state but failed to take necessary precautions57. Nores contends that it was the hotel manager’s responsibility to ensure Payne’s safety during his stay.
The fallout from Payne’s death continues as authorities pursue charges against three individuals linked to drug supply and abandonment. The investigation remains ongoing, with prosecutors examining various aspects of Payne’s final hours and interactions at the hotel6810.

The case highlights the need for vigilance regarding guest safety, especially when dealing with high-profile individuals facing personal crises911.
