A police special investigations unit raided Casa Sur hotel on orders from the public prosecutors’ office, seizing items including computer hard drives and hotel camera footage. This followed the death of former One Direction member Liam Payne, who fell from the hotel’s third-floor balcony in Buenos Aires. The autopsy revealed Payne died from multiple injuries and bleeding caused by the fall. Initial investigations suggest he was alone and experiencing a “breakdown” due to substance consumption. Substances were found in his hotel room, along with destroyed objects.
A preliminary toxicology report found cocaine in Payne’s system. The Casa Sur hotel has become a memorial site for fans, with flowers, candles, and photos in his honor. Payne’s family and former bandmates have expressed their devastation over the loss, and artists worldwide continue to share their grief.
