In a major breakthrough in the investigation of Liam Payne’s untimely death, Argentine police have arrested three suspects linked to the tragedy. The One Direction star, who passed away at 31, died on October 16th after a fatal fall from the third floor of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires. Although Liam Payne’s funeral is scheduled for Friday, the investigation remains active, with officials labeling the case as “inconclusive.”
Following Payne’s sudden passing, local authorities conducted two raids at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel, where the singer’s life ended. The latest raid reportedly led to the detention of three individuals accused of supplying drugs to Liam Payne. Those detained include two employees of the hotel and a close associate of the star, as confirmed by ABC World News. A law enforcement representative stated, “Police detained two hotel workers accused of supplying the drugs, and raided the home of a friend, who was also taken into custody.”
Officials in Buenos Aires further disclosed to TMZ that the investigation on Tuesday night involved an extensive search of the detained workers’ lockers, as well as a review of the hotel’s security footage. So far, the investigation has expanded to include nine separate raids across multiple locations, with eight directly connected to the three detainees.
One of the more unusual pieces of evidence includes a Dove soap box found at the scene. Investigators believe hotel staff may have used this box to deliver narcotics discreetly to Liam Payne’s room. Sources close to the investigation told the Daily Mail that “two employees at the hotel were reportedly supplying Liam with drugs, and would send taxis out to pick up packages for him.” These revelations have put the hotel under scrutiny, casting doubt on the role of staff in Payne’s final days.
The post-mortem report has confirmed that traces of narcotics were present in Liam Payne’s system at the time of his death, raising further questions about the events leading up to his fatal fall. Argentine authorities are now working to reconstruct the sequence of events and hope the latest arrests will provide insight into Payne’s tragic last hours.
As the world continues to mourn the loss of Liam Payne, a beloved musician and former member of One Direction, his fans, friends, and family are left seeking closure. The unfolding investigation is closely watched by those who hope for clarity and justice, as Payne’s legacy endures even amidst this sorrowful chapter.
