Liam Payne’s father, Geoff, spent over 4 hours with the investigating prosecutor, while Liam’s bodyguard, Paul Higgins, was busy reviewing security footage at Hotel CasaSur Palermo in Buenos Aires. Higgins was also seen interviewing hotel employees to uncover who may have supplied the late One Direction singer with alleged narcotics.
The tragic incident occurred on October 16 when Liam fell from the third floor of his hotel suite in Argentina at the age of 31. Reports indicate that cocaine was found in his body during an autopsy.
Police are now examining hotel CCTV footage to determine if Liam received a drug delivery during his stay. They are also looking into his mobile phone records to see who he was in contact with before the incident.
Officials are still awaiting toxicology and histopathological exam results before releasing Liam’s body to his family. The investigation is thorough, with a commitment to follow the evidence wherever it leads.
Tributes have poured in for Liam from around the world, with his One Direction bandmates sharing emotional statements. Niall Horan, who recently met up with Liam in Argentina, shared details of their final hug in a touching tribute.
