Liam Payne’s tragic death remains under investigation, with three individuals charged in connection to the case. The former One Direction star, aged 31, died on October 16 after falling from a third-floor balcony at the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Despite efforts to understand the circumstances, questions still surround his sudden passing.
Liam had been on holiday with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, before she abruptly ended the trip. In the days leading up to his death, reports suggest Liam may have been using drugs, potentially leading to a psychotic episode. Investigators are carefully considering all angles, including ruling out suicide and any third-party involvement.
Three Charged in Connection with His Death
Prosecutors have charged three individuals in relation to Liam’s death. One of the accused is a hotel worker, while the others are believed to have supplied drugs to the singer. The charges include “abandonment of a person followed by death” and “drug supply and facilitation.” The suspects face prison sentences of up to 15 years if convicted.
Liam’s friend, Rogelio “Roger” Nores, has denied any wrongdoing, asserting he never abandoned the singer and visited him multiple times on the day of the incident.
Suspicious Claims from a Waiter and Ongoing Investigation
One key suspect, 24-year-old waiter Braian Nahuel Paiz, who is suspected of being Liam’s drug dealer, has denied supplying drugs to the singer. Paiz revealed that Liam reached out to him through a secret Instagram account and that they spent time together at the hotel, where Liam was already under the influence of drugs. Paiz stated he only consumed drugs with Liam but never supplied him with any substances.
Authorities are also continuing their search for Liam’s missing £30,000 Rolex, which was last seen on CCTV footage but was not found on his body. Police have returned to his hotel room, where they are scouring for the expensive watch.
Toxicology Results and Further Investigations
Initial toxicology results indicate that Liam had traces of alcohol, cocaine, and prescription antidepressants in his system at the time of his death. His injuries were consistent with a fall from a great height, and authorities have ruled out suicide, suggesting that Liam may have been unconscious or unaware of his actions at the time.
A search of his hotel room uncovered evidence of narcotics, alcohol, and damaged furniture. Investigators have also analyzed numerous hours of security footage and phone data to piece together the events leading up to his fall.
While the investigation continues, the discovery of drugs, the missing Rolex, and the questioning of those involved point to a complex and t
ragic end for the star.
