Unanswered questions from Liam Payne's friend's TMZ interview as new details emerge
Share:
Liam Payne's friend Roger Nores has given a bombshell interview about the star's final hours. The One Direction singer tragically fell to his death at the age of 31 from a third floor balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in October. Businessman Nores, who is from Argentina, formed a friendship with Liam in 2020 after they met at an event hosted by Vogue in London.
They had spent time together on the day Liam died. It is believed Nores is one of the five people under investigation by authorities following Liam's tragic death as Argentinian officials have suspected him of abandoning the star. Nores has since taken part in documentary TMZ Investigates: Liam Payne: Who's to Blame? where he made a series of claims about Liam that have gone against previous reports.
Nores has claimed Liam was "in good spirits" on the day of his death and was "perfectly balanced". The claim follows on from wide reports suggesting Liam had been in a frenzied state just hours before. It has been reported Liam was drunk and disorderly soon before he fell from his hotel balcony - and one hotel employee called emergency services before the star's death.
In the documentary, Nores said this is an incorrect depiction of the singer. "I'm a very good friend of Liam, and I was with him the day that he passed away. He was in in good spirits. He was like talking to 10 or 15 Americans that were here for a wedding. And so he was talking to them, and he was joking around.".
The businessman has claimed there was "nothing out of the ordinary" when it came to Liam's behaviour on that day after visiting him three times. Nores said what would be his last goodbye to Liam in the afternoon. In the documentary he said: "I left like at 4:05, or so, and he was in good spirits.
