More than a month after the death of Liam Payne, new revelations are taking a new turn in the case. In fact, the Argentine justice system has just seized the telephone of certain employees.
On October 16, the world learned of the death of Liam Payne, former member of the group One Direction. Although the exact circumstances of his death remain unclear, new revelations give an unexpected twist to the case.
Liam Payne died after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires. He had used various drugs and alcohol. According to the American media TMZ, the hotel could be sued for negligence, and three people are already suspected in the investigation: Roger Nores, a friend of the singer, a hotel employee who allegedly supplied him with drugs, and a suspected drug trafficker.
Employees involved?
Other suspects could be added, particularly among hotel employees. New video shows three staff members carrying Liam Payne from the lobby after him. The 31-year-old singer was then allegedly locked in his room before the incident. Still according to TMZ, Liam Payne would have tried to go out via the balcony to join the employees who remained in front of his door. “When his body was found, he was carrying a bag over his shoulder and a cap which he did not have when he was last seen in the lobby“, reports the media.
It appears that Liam tried to move from the third floor balcony to the second floor, hoping to jump from a lower height. This theory is reinforced by the police report. Two days after his death, a hotel employee discovered on the balcony of the room below Liam’s a brown leather bag containing a note marked “for Liam”, as well as pills and a bottle of Jack Daniel’s.
We fear he is in danger
Could hotel employees be accused of negligence? Esteban Grassi, the receptionist, called for help a few minutes after taking Liam Payne back to his room. “We are worried that he might do something and be in danger. He is in a room with a balcony“, he said during the call, broadcast by the press.
But why did they leave Liam Payne alone in his room? And why didn’t they contact emergency services when he was still in the hall? The investigation will determine whether the hotel employees will be formally charged with negligence.
