As a devoted fan who has followed Liam Payne‘s career since the days of One Direction, this news about his tragic death and the subsequent investigation leaves me both saddened and outraged. It’s heartbreaking to think that such a talented individual, with so much potential left untapped, is gone too soon.
An investigation into the death of ex-One Direction member Liam Payne, who sadly fell from a balcony at a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, last October while under the influence of several drugs, has resulted in the apprehension of a hotel employee this week in the capital city, as reported by local news outlets.
According to local news source La Nacion, a staff member from a hotel and an alleged drug dealer in the area were arrested, and investigators obtained search warrants for a businessman’s home in Argentina. The staffer, who works as a maintenance worker at the hotel, is one of the individuals under investigation for drug possession. It is claimed that the two detainees provided the narcotics found during the deceased staffer’s autopsy. No authorities in Buenos Aires have released the names of the three men currently being charged.
On October 16th, it’s reported that Payne suffered a fall from the third floor of CasaSur Palermo Hotel, located in Buenos Aires’ Palermo district. Following an immediate autopsy after his passing, it was determined that he died due to traumatic injuries and bleeding, both internally and externally. The Mobile Criminalistics Unit of the Buenos Aires City Police found substances suspected to be narcotics, alcoholic drinks, damaged items, and wreckage within Payne’s hotel room. Prior to his fall from the balcony, it was alleged that Payne had taken cocaine, according to La Nacion.
It’s alleged that the individual linked to the investigation, who claimed to manage the singer, had deceptively represented himself in this role. According to The Nacion, he didn’t inform Payne’s family about the singer’s deteriorating condition due to drug abuse and chose not to communicate with authorities following his demise. Instead, he only interacted with investigators through a lawyer. This person is being accused of neglecting someone in need, a charge that doesn’t necessitate his detention by law enforcement.
Police reportedly conducted searches at nine different sites as part of their investigation into Payne’s death. Eight of these locations were linked to the three suspects in the case, while the ninth was the rental room of two women who were said to have been with Payne before his death. These women, identified by authorities only by their first initials “L” and “R,” had allegedly been summoned to the room via an escort app called Moans. However, according to La Nacion, these two women demanded $5,000 from Payne, a request he refused. This led to an argument between them and the artist, which escalated into a public dispute in the hotel lobby and eventually prompted the hotel manager to contact one of Payne’s business associates to transfer funds and resolve the situation.
According to La Nacion, it’s reported that “L” first contacted authorities following Payne’s death, but later disappeared from her rented accommodation. A neighbor told the news outlet that the room is now empty, though a dog can be heard barking behind the door. Currently, authorities are looking for “L”.
The police confiscated nine mobile phones, three computers, two storage drives, and a jar of cannabis during their ongoing probe, according to reports.
On Thursday, an email from The Hollywood Reporter wasn’t promptly responded to by Argentina’s Prosecutor’s Office No. 14, after they had requested information about the arrests and investigations that were underway.
Upon the announcement of the arrests, it’s said that Payne’s body was being flown back to the U.K., on a British Airways plane, for his funeral.
