Liam Payne’s tragic passing has left fans around the world devastated, and the investigation into his death is intensifying. Following the shocking event last month, authorities in Argentina have arrested three individuals in connection with the One Direction star’s untimely demise. As the investigation unfolds, Liam’s close friend, Rogelio Nores—also known as Roger—has publicly denied any involvement in the incident, providing a statement to clear his name.
Roger, who had visited Liam several times on the day of his death, emphasized that he left the hotel just 40 minutes before the tragedy occurred. Speaking with The Sun, he expressed disbelief over what happened, stating, “I could have never imagined something like this would happen.” Despite the police linking his name to the investigation, Roger clarified that he was not among those arrested and was cooperating fully with the authorities. He had previously provided a witness statement to the prosecutor on October 17th and had no further contact with law enforcement since then.
The ongoing investigation has raised suspicions about Roger’s possible role in the events surrounding Liam’s death, especially after it was revealed that Liam fell from the third-floor balcony of the CasaSur hotel in Buenos Aires. Roger, who was not Liam’s manager but a close friend, has been implicated in the investigation concerning the supply of drugs to the singer. Authorities are reportedly examining whether Roger was involved in facilitating Liam’s access to drugs, which could lead to severe legal consequences if proven.
In addition to Roger’s involvement, two hotel workers have also been arrested in connection with the drug supply investigation. It has been reported that Liam tested negative for drugs before his tragic fall, but just an hour after arriving at the hotel, he was allegedly given drugs, possibly leading to his fatal accident. Investigators are awaiting the results of a toxicology report, which is expected to shed light on whether drugs were present in Liam’s system at the time of his death.
Meanwhile, Liam’s family and friends continue to mourn the loss of the beloved musician. After being held in Argentina for weeks while the investigation continued, Liam’s body is finally being repatriated to the UK. The authorities had kept the body in order to complete the toxicology tests, which may offer further insight into the cause of his tragic death. As the investigation progresses, more details are expected to emerge about the circumstances surrounding Liam Payne’s heartbreaking fall.
