Fans of the late Liam Payne have marched through the streets of Buenos Aires as they called for justice over his death. The former One Direction singer tragically died at the age of 31 on October 16 after falling from the third floor of a hotel in the Argentinian city. Demonstrations have been taking place from fans of the the star in a bid to put pressure on authorities to hold people related to his death accountable.
The Argentinian prosecutor’s office confirmed Liam had died due to multiple traumas and internal and external bleeding. Preliminary toxicology tests later revealed traces of "alcohol, cocaine and prescription antidepressants" had been found in Liam's system. Officials ruled out suicide, explaining that "in the state he was in, he did not know what he was doing and could not understand it".
Last week, it emerged that local law enforcements had been probing five people after two more workers at the hotel Liam was staying at were officially been put under investigation. Those being investigated have been named as Roger Nores, Braian Paiz, hotel employee Ezequiel Pereyra, hotel secutity Esteban Reynaldo Grassi and manager Gilda Martín.
Judge Laura Bruinard ordered that footage of Liam's fall which was captured on CCTV should be reviewed. Roger Nores, a friend of Payne is being investigated under suspicion of abandonment – a claim he denies. Others are being investigated for facilitation of narcotics.
The interviews will take place between December 17 and December 19, following which Bruinard will have ten days to make a decision over whether to prosecute the defendants, or acquit them. Fans have decided to march on the streets of Buenos Aires to ensure the efforts made by police don't lose momentum.
