Liam Payne’s friend speaks out about his death

Liam Payne's body is expected to be released to his family after 10 to 15 days of investigations

Liam Payne‘s “very dear friend” has insisted he didn’t abandon the late star in the hours leading up to his death.

Liam Payne died last month

The One Direction singer passed away last month after falling from his hotel balcony and now Rogelio Nores, who is known as Roger, has told how he saw him less than an hour before his fatal fall as he dismissed claims police had raided his Buenos Aires home in connection to the tragedy.

Roger told MailOnline: “I never abandoned Liam, I went to his hotel three times that day and left 40 minutes before this happened.

“There were over 15 people at the hotel lobby chatting and joking with him when I left.

“I could have never imagined something like this would happen.

“I’ve given my statement to the prosecutor on October 17 as a witness and I haven’t spoken to any police officer or prosecutor ever since.

“I wasn’t Liam’s manager he was just my very dear friend and please refer to the email I sent to Liam and his team on August 23.

“I’m really heart-broken with this tragedy, and I’ve been missing my friend every day.”

Roger’s statement came after police placed three people, a “friend” of the ‘Strip That Down’ hitmaker and two hotel employees, under official suspicion over Liam’s death.

They have been arrested in relation to “abandonment of a person followed by death, supply and facilitation of narcotics”, a statement from the office of prosecutor Andres Esteban Madrea confirmed.

It added: “Liam Payne was not fully conscious or was experiencing a state of noticeable decrease or loss of consciousness at the time of the fall.”
