Argentinian police are reportedly investigating a friend of Liam Payne and two hotel employees in connection with his death. Authorities conducted raids on the homes of the hotel workers and Payne's friend, as well as reviewed security footage and seized hotel devices. Police apparently suspect that Payne’s friend may have sold him drugs, with investigators using texts from Payne's phone to identify them. Payne’s hotel room reportedly contained drug paraphernalia and alcohol, and a toxicology report found multiple drugs in his system, including cocaine and "pink cocaine." The investigation also revealed footage showing Payne in the balcony area, where he fainted and fell.
