Suspect in Liam Payne case denies drug involvement as investigation continues
Liam Payne, a former One Direction member, died at 31 after falling from a hotel balcony in October. An investigation is ongoing, with three suspects, including Argentinian waiter Braian Nahuel Paiz, being questioned. Paiz claims he did not supply drugs to Payne and met him twice at a restaurant. He stated that Payne was already under the influence of drugs when they first met and that they used drugs together but he did not provide them. Another suspect, businessman Rogelio Nores, said he left the hotel shortly before Payne's death and denied any involvement. Early toxicology reports indicated Payne had multiple substances in his system, and authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding his death.
