The first two suspects summoned for questioning by the judge investigating Liam Payne’s death have declined to testify. Pop star and former One Direction member Liam Payne tragically died at age 31 on October 16, with an investigation still ongoing into the circumstances surrounding his fatal fall from a hotel balcony.
Payne died while staying at the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with an autopsy confirming that he died from multiple injuries sustained in his fall that led to ‘internal and external haemorrhaging.’. Several arrests have already been made in connection to his death, and two suspects who were summoned for investigation remained silent during questioning.

Alleged dealer Braian Nahuel Paiz and Ezequiel David Pereyra, a former employee at the Buenos Aires hotel where the singer lost his life, said they were ‘retaining their right to remain silent’ during their Zoom quiz yesterday in front of Laura Bruniard.
Braian had told an Argentine TV journalist last month he had consumed marijuana and the former One Direction musician had taken cocaine during a rendezvous at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel where Liam was staying shortly before the singer’s death. But he insisted in his interview with Guillermo Panizza on Telefe Noticias: ‘I never took drugs to him or accepted any money.’.
