Liam Payne's friend Roger Nores' disturbing comment in café after star's death
Share:
Shortly after Liam Payne's death on October 16, his friend Roger Nores was in such a state of 'shock' he made a disturbing comment about his disbelief over the incident. Liam tragically died at 31 after falling from a third-floor balcony of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires October.
It was confirmed yesterday that five people had been charged over the singer’s death - one of whom is Nores. Members of staff at the CasaSur Palermo hotel, including chief receptionist Esteban Grassi and head of security Gilda Martin, were also charged with manslaughter.
An Argentinian entrepreneur, Nores grew close to Liam back in 2020 following their encounter at a Vogue event in London. The pair had been together on the fateful day of Liam's death, although he has always insisted he did nothing wrong. Speaking last month, Nores said: “I never abandoned Liam, I went to his hotel three times that day and left 40 minutes before this happened.
“There were over 15 people at the hotel lobby chatting and joking with him when I left. I could have never imagined something like this would happen... I'm really heart-broken with this tragedy, and I've been missing my friend every day.". This week, writing in MailOnline, journalist Fred Kelly said he met with Nores in a cafe shortly after Liam’s death and his words were nothing short of chilling.
Fred wrote: “The most shocking charge is the one brought against Payne's friend and confidant Roger Nores, a man I got to know well back in November. When I first met Roger in a Buenos Aires cafe a month after Payne's death, it was clear that he was still in shock.”.
