Buenos Aires hotel where One Direction’s Liam Payne died raided by Argentina police
Officers seized items including computer hard drives and camera footage from the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires, a government official said
Argentina’s police raided the Buenos Aires hotel where ex-One Direction singer Liam Payne stayed before dying last week after falling from a third-floor balcony, a government official said on Thursday.
A police special investigations unit went to the Casa Sur hotel on Wednesday night on orders from the public prosecutors’ office.
Officers seized items including computer hard drives and footage from hotel cameras, a government official told Associated Press, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak publicly.
The singer died on October 16 after falling from the third-floor balcony in the upmarket, touristy Palermo district.
According to the autopsy, Payne died from multiple injuries as well as both internal and external bleeding caused by the fall. His body was found in the hotel’s internal courtyard.
Initial investigations suggest the musician was alone and experiencing a “breakdown” after consumption of substances that have not yet been determined.
