The ongoing investigation into Liam Payne’s tragic death on October 16 has seen new developments, with one of the suspects speaking publicly about his involvement. Braian Nahuel Paiz, a 24-year-old Argentinian waiter, is among three individuals under investigation by Argentine authorities. Paiz has denied any wrongdoing, maintaining his innocence in the unfolding case.
In an interview, Paiz claimed he met Payne earlier in October at a Buenos Aires restaurant where he worked. Their acquaintance reportedly progressed over social media exchanges. Paiz has denied supplying drugs to Payne, instead suggesting that he met the singer for casual conversations and music sharing. “We met, listened to some music,” he said, adding that Payne had already been using drugs before their interactions.
Paiz emphasized his willingness to cooperate fully with the investigation, offering his phone and testimony to authorities to help uncover the truth. “I want to contribute everything,” he said. “I have nothing to hide.”
The investigation has focused on the final days of Payne’s life, with reports indicating he may have been in contact with individuals who allegedly provided him with drugs. Autopsy results confirmed the cause of death as a fall that led to “multiple injuries involving internal and external hemorrhage,” with traces of drugs found in his system.
Payne’s sudden passing has shocked fans worldwide and has prompted a deeper examination of the circumstances surrounding his final days. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to clarify the roles of Paiz and others in the tragic event.
