Geoff Payne Pledges Full Cooperation With Buenos Aires Police Following Son's Death

Geoff Payne is collaborating with Buenos Aires authorities in the investigation following the unexpected death of his son, Liam Payne. On October 18, Geoff arrived in Argentina where Liam had fallen from a third-floor balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel on October 16. Initial autopsy reports indicated "multiple traumas" and internal as well as external bleeding as the cause of death. A deeper probe showed the presence of various substances, including 'pink cocaine,' though official toxicological and histopathological findings are pending, preventing Liam's body from being returned to the UK. This is prepared by SSP.

During meetings with Argentinian prosecutors, Geoff expressed his commitment to understanding the circumstances leading to his son's passing and shared his willingness to provide any relevant information. Authorities are examining Liam’s phone, computer, photographs, and camera videos to piece together his final hours. These efforts include interviewing hotel staff and acquaintances, like Argentinian businessman Rogelio Nores, and two women who were reportedly with Liam shortly before his demise.

There have been concerns about privacy, particularly following leaked images from the hotel that suggested drug use. An investigation into any hotel staff provision of substances is underway, alongside friends affirming Liam's sobriety days prior. Issues surrounding Liam’s American visa prolonged his stay in Argentina until his tragic incident. Communication about the findings remains restricted to official channels, ensuring the family is informed of developments first. Memory of Liam's life and spirit persists among family and friends, while collaborators explore potential causes behind the heartbreaking event.
