The case surrounding the tragic death of Liam Payne, the One Direction star who passed away last month in Argentina, has received a heartbreaking update. Payne, 31, tragically died on October 16, 2024, after falling from the third floor of his hotel suite in Buenos Aires.
As reported by Mirror, Argentine prosecutors are set to hold an appeal on December 2, 2024, to further investigate the circumstances surrounding Payne’s death.
Three individuals were arrested following the incident, but prosecutors have stated that there is an “impasse” preventing them from questioning the suspects. Authorities are working to resolve the issue and move forward with the investigation.
Public prosecutor Andres Madrea is expected to argue that Laura Bruniard should be permitted to continue her probe into the suspects, which has allegedly been hampered by delays in the criminal investigation process.
It remains uncertain when a decision will be made regarding which authorities will have jurisdiction over the case. Additionally, the determination on whether further suspects will be added to the investigation is not expected until after the appeal ruling.
The update comes just days after Infobae, an Argentine news outlet, reported that Liam’s £30,000 Rolex watch had gone missing around the same time he allegedly spent time with two escorts before his death. These two women are currently treated as witnesses in the case, though they have hired lawyers to represent them, despite not being legally required to do so.
As the investigation unfolds, fans and the public await further developments in the case of Liam Payne’s tragic death.
