Police raid uncovers new leads in Liam Payne's tragic death

The death of Liam Payne, a member of One Direction, shocked thousands of people worldwide. The artist tragically died on October 16, 2024, after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Argentina. Toxicology tests showed he was under the influence of multiple psychoactive substances, which may have affected his behavior before his death. The autopsy results confirmed multiple organ injuries along with both internal and external bleeding.

Liam's father, Geoff Payne, despite his sadness and despair, remains in Argentina, trying to transport his son's body to the United Kingdom. However, this process is delayed due to the need for additional toxicological and histopathological examinations.

On Thursday, foreign media reported that police in Buenos Aires conducted a raid on the CasaSur Palermo hotel, where Liam Payne died a week ago, to obtain further important information for the investigation and secure documents and recordings from the day of the tragedy.
