Argentinian police raided the Buenos Aires hotel where Liam Payne fell to his death last week. Computer hard drives and hotel security footage were among the items taken by authorities.
Argentinian police raided the Buenos Aires hotel where Liam Payne died last week amid an ongoing investigation into the singer's death, according to a government official who spoke to the Associated Press on Thursday. The raid at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel was conducted on Wednesday and carried out by a police special investigations unit, which was dispatched on orders from the public prosecutors’ office, per the AP.
The CasaSur Palermo Hotel has become a place for Payne’s fans to pay their respects. They have left flowers, candles and photos of the singer in a makeshift shrine around a tree at the hotel’s entrance. Payne's father, Geoff Payne, arrived at the hotel last Friday and took time to read through cards, speak to fans and join in a moment of silence for the late singer. Geoff has remained in Buenos Aires to arrange the repatriation of his son’s body, which is expected to be released around Oct.
Members of Payne's family, including his mother, Karen Payne, and his two sisters, Ruth and Nicola, have expressed their devastation over the loss. Payne's former One Direction bandmates, Cole and other celebrities have also shared heartfelt tributes to Payne following his death. In 2008, Payne was discovered by Simon Cowell while auditioning for 'The X Factor' when he was 14.
