The investigation into the death of Liam Payne, who tragically fell from a Buenos Aires hotel balcony on October 16, has intensified.
Toxicology reports confirmed multiple substances in his system, including cocaine and other drugs, and suggest he was likely unconscious or semi-conscious at the time of the fall.
While no foul play has been directly established, authorities are examining possible links to drug suppliers and potential negligence by hotel staff.
Recent raids at the CasaSur Palermo hotel and other locations aim to uncover the source of the substances found in Payne’s room.
Investigators are scrutinizing the hotel’s security protocols and the role of associates who may have interacted with Payne prior to his death. Three individuals are under investigation but have not yet been formally charged.
Payne’s body has since been repatriated to the UK, and plans for a memorial service are underway, expected to be a significant gathering attended by his former One Direction bandmates.
