Prosecutors appeal judge's decision in Liam Payne death investigation

In Argentina, six weeks have passed since the tragic death of Liam Payne, a former member of One Direction, who fell from the third floor of his hotel suite in Buenos Aires. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death is ongoing, with Argentinian prosecutors seeking to appeal a judge's ruling that has complicated the probe. They reported an 'impasse' in their ability to question three suspects connected to the case despite their arrest. Local media have raised concerns over the actions of hotel staff who were seen carrying Payne back to his room shortly before his fatal fall. This has sparked queries regarding their responsibilities during the medical emergency. Furthermore, the investigation has revealed troubling elements, including the disappearance of a valuable Rolex watch belonging to Payne. It reportedly went missing around the same time as one of two escorts he had been with prior to his death returned to his room to retrieve her makeup. These women are currently treated as witnesses in the case but have sought legal representation even though they are not charged with any wrongdoing. Reports indicate Payne attempted to pay them $5,000, although they received only a small part of this amount due to intervention from his friend Roger Nores. In the weeks following Payne's death, authorities conducted raids at various properties connected to the escorts, although no evidence of the missing Rolex was found. The suspects identified in the investigation include Roger Nores, a close friend of Payne’s; hotel employee Ezequiel David Pereyra; and waiter Braian Nahuel Paiz. Nores has refuted claims that he abandoned Payne before the fall, stating he had left the hotel 40 minutes prior while numerous people were still in the lobby. An autopsy revealed Wade had alcohol, cocaine, and traces of an antidepressant in his system at the time of his death, but prosecutors have ruled out suicide, asserting he was in a state of unconsciousness as he fell. The investigation continues as prosecutors aim to resolve the legal challenges hindering their inquiry, amidst growing media scrutiny and public interest in the case.
