Hotel employee denies drug supply charges in Liam Payne's death
Braian Nahuel Paiz, a former waiter at CasaSur Palermo Hotel, has been charged in connection with Liam Payne's death but denies supplying him with drugs. Paiz claims he met Payne on October 2 and later exchanged contact information. Paiz alleges they met again on October 13, where they used drugs together, but he insists he did not bring any drugs to Payne. He described Payne as "sweet" and said he was scared and paranoid in the days leading up to his death. Payne fell from a balcony on October 16, suffering fatal injuries. A toxicology report indicated he was under the influence of multiple drugs at the time. Paiz and a drug dealer face charges related to drug supply, while another associate is charged with abandonment.
