Buenos Aires, Argentina – Authorities in Buenos Aires, Argentina, have conducted a raid in the hotel room where British singer Liam Payne stayed before his tragic death, seeking new information related to the incident.
During the raid at Casa Sur hotel, officials were looking for documents in the registration books and information stored on the computers. The hotel has been asked to provide additional security camera footage from October 16, the day of Payne’s death at the age of 31.
Geoff Payne, the grieving father of the late singer, has been cooperating with the investigation, along with the singer’s bodyguard, Paul Higgins. The elder Payne has expressed his commitment to staying with his son in Argentina until he can bring him back to the UK.
A preliminary autopsy conducted by the Argentinian Public Prosecutor’s Office revealed that Liam Payne passed away due to “multiple traumas” and internal and external bleeding. Toxicology screening detected a combination of drugs in his system, including pink cocaine, benzodiazepine, crack, and cocaine.
Reports also indicate that witnesses observed Payne behaving erratically in the hours leading up to his death. A concerned hotel manager in Buenos Aires contacted the police, warning them that an individual under the influence of drugs and alcohol was causing disturbances in a room, potentially endangering their life.
The investigation into Liam Payne’s death continues, with authorities in Argentina focusing on gathering more information from the hotel staff and surveillance footage. The pop star’s unexpected passing has left fans and loved ones devastated, as they seek answers and closure in the wake of this tragedy.
