The tragic death of Liam Payne, the beloved One Direction star, has taken a shocking turn with the arrest of three individuals, including a close friend of the singer. Authorities have charged a friend of Payne, a hotel employee, and an alleged drug dealer in connection with his passing. While authorities have not publicly named the friend, reports point to Rogelio ‘Roger’ Nores, an Argentine multimillionaire, as the individual accused of ‘abandoning a person followed by death.’
Nores, a successful entrepreneur who founded his own investment firm at the young age of 23, vehemently denies the accusations. In a statement to UK media, Nores asserted, “I never abandoned Liam. I went to his hotel three times that day and left 40 minutes before this happened.” He further claimed that Payne was not alone when he left, stating, “There were over 15 people at the hotel lobby chatting and joking with him when I left.”
Despite Nores’ denial, authorities continue to investigate his involvement, accusing him of being complicit in the drug supply. This charge carries a potential prison sentence of up to 15 years under Argentinian law.
The revelation of Nores’ alleged connection to the drug supply adds a layer of complexity to the case. It raises questions about the circumstances surrounding Payne’s death and the potential role of illegal substances. Authorities are currently exploring this angle, determined to uncover the truth behind the singer’s untimely passing.
Nores and Payne’s friendship began in 2020 at a London house party hosted by Edward Enninful, the former editor-in-chief of British Vogue. The two quickly developed a close bond, and earlier this year, Payne moved into a Palm Beach mansion owned by one of Nores’ friends.
As investigations continue, the world mourns the loss of Liam Payne, a talented musician who captured the hearts of millions. The case is sure to generate further headlines as authorities work tirelessly to piece together the events leading up to the singer’s death.
