Roger Nores Denies Abandoning Liam Payne Amid Tragic Death Investigation
Rogelio "Roger" Nores, a close friend of the late singer Liam Payne, has firmly denied allegations of abandoning the former One Direction star before his untimely death, US Weekly reported. Addressing these accusations, Nores explained to the Daily Mail that on the tragic day, he visited Payne's hotel multiple times and left well before the incident occurred, emphasizing the presence of several people interacting with Payne. Reports conflict on whether Nores is considered a suspect, particularly after Argentinian prosecutors announced the arrest and investigation of three people, including a purported 'friend,' linked to Payne's death.
Payne tragically passed away in Buenos Aires, falling from a third-floor hotel balcony. An autopsy exposed multiple traumatic injuries and the presence of controlled substances like "pink cocaine" and crack in his system. The investigation led to charges against three individuals accused of abandonment and drug involvement, although specifics remain unclear. Prosecutors have confirmed the fall resulted in Payne's demise, ruling out self-involvement or third-party violence.
Grieving his friend's loss deeply, Nores declares he had no managerial role, just a profound friendship. His input was limited to an initial statement given to authorities, limiting further interaction with them since that disclosure. Despite earlier rumors, notable arrests have been made following extensive evidence gathering, including hundreds of hours of CCTV analysis, collection of various testimonies, and device and record investigations. Two hotel workers remain among those implicated in connectivity to Payne's ill-fated event.
Liam Payne, who rose to fame with engagements like One Direction, left a profound legacy marked by broke fan precedents, chart-topping music, and meaningful dual collaborations. His unexpected demise has assembled emotion-filled tributes worldwide, noting his place in both pop culture and the hearts of millions. Memorial specifics, pending public reveal, will mark his lasting impact as the artist journeys back to the UK, to bereave his loved ones amidst continued investigative legal developments.
