The Prosecution Authority has so far gathered information from five witnesses who were at the hotel – three hotel employees and two young women. None of them are said to have been in One Direction star's hotel room when he fell from the balcony.
The police are now looking for a man who is suspected of having supplied Liam Payne with drugs before the artist fell from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires and died on Wednesday evening. The suspicions are directed against a hotel employee, reports La Nacion.
Guests at the hotel in Buenos Aires tell The Guardian that they heard banging and screams in the hours leading up to Payne's death.
I thought it was construction work, there was so much banging, doors slamming shut all day. It was very loud, says Doug Jones.
Just a few days before he died, the record label Universal terminated its contract with Liam Payne, writes Daily Mail. Earlier in October, he also lost his PR agent. At the same time, his ex-girlfriend initiated a legal process against him and accused him of continuing to contact her.
