In October 2023, Liam Payne fell from the third-floor balcony of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, leading to his tragic death at the age of 31. Roger Nores, a businessman and one of Liam's close friends, reported he was with the singer shortly before the incident. In the hours leading up to his death, Nores described Liam as being in good spirits and happily engaging with other hotel guests, indicating that there was nothing concerning about his demeanor during their last interactions. The circumstances surrounding the fall have raised questions and led to Nores being investigated by Argentinian authorities, who are examining the events leading up to Liam's fatal accident. Despite allegations against him, Nores maintains he did not abandon Liam, stating he checked on him multiple times that morning. Reports indicated that Liam may have been intoxicated prior to the fall, with a hotel employee calling emergency services just before the incident occurred. A subsequent toxicology report revealed traces of alcohol, cocaine, and prescription antidepressants in Liam's system, further complicating the narrative of his final hours.
