Police in Argentina are intensifying their investigation into the tragic death of Liam Payne, the former One Direction singer. According to TMZ, authorities recently conducted a series of raids on the homes of two hotel employees and a close associate of Payne in Buenos Aires.
The police carried out the raids on Tuesday night as part of their efforts to uncover the circumstances surrounding Payne’s fatal fall from the balcony of his third-floor room at the CasaSur Palermo hotel on October 16. It is believed that the hotel workers had contact with Payne before the incident, prompting the authorities to search their lockers and review security footage from the hotel.
One key lead in the investigation came from text messages found on the cell phone of Payne’s “friend,” which indicated possible involvement in drug-related activities. However, the individual was not present at his residence during the raid, adding another layer of mystery to the case.
This is not the first time the police have targeted CasaSur in connection with Payne’s death. In late October, they seized electronic and paper records as well as videos of the hotel’s underground area in an initial wave of raids. The ongoing investigation has also revealed that Payne had traces of “pink cocaine” in his system, a dangerous drug mixture known to include meth, ecstasy, ketamine, and other narcotics.
Photos taken inside Payne’s hotel room showed white powder scattered on a table, along with burnt tinfoil and drug paraphernalia. Despite these alarming findings, no arrests have been made in the case yet. However, law enforcement officials are reportedly moving closer to charging individuals involved in Payne’s untimely demise.
As the investigation unfolds, the authorities are leaving no stone unturned in their quest for justice for Liam Payne. The tragic circumstances surrounding his death continue to raise questions and speculation, but the truth behind the events leading to that fateful night may soon come to light.
