Suspect in Liam Payne’s Death Admits to Partying But Denies Supplying Him Drugs
The investigation into the death of Liam Payne continues as suspects were detained last week in Buenos Aires, Argentina. One of the suspects in question is denying that he was the one to supply the drugs to Payne.
Braian Nahuel Paiz, a 24-year-old waiter in Argentina, told Telefe Noticias, that he did party with Payne before he fell to his death at his hotel in Argentina. But, he does deny that he is the one who supplied Payne with the drugs that were used the night in question.
Paiz insists that he only spent time with Payne two times before his accidental death. He claims that he did interact with him, but the first time he met him was at his place of work in Argentina. He told sources that he exchanged contact information with Payne and later the two did hang out, but they communicated on Payne’s secret Instagram account.
Suspect Denies Supplying Payne with Drugs in Argentina
“We got together there and he showed me some of the music he was going to bring out. I’ve heard people saying he was taking drugs, but the truth is that when he got to the restaurant where I was working he was already under the effects of drugs and he didn’t actually eat anything,” said Paiz.
The pair got together again on October 13 and Paiz claims that they partied at CasaSur Palermo Hotel. Paiz says during the time that he was smoking pot and Payne was doing cocaine that night of partying. “We took drugs together, but I never took drugs to him or accepted any money,” said Paiz.
There were two other suspects involved in the investigation, but Paiz claims he does not know who the other two suspects are. His home was searched by investigators during their investigation.
Payne fell from a third-story balcony at his hotel the night of his death with a mixture of drugs to be found in his system at the time. Authorities say that there was “alcohol, cocaine, and prescription antidepressants’ in Payne’s system at the time of his death. The autopsy report shows that Payne died from “multiple trauma’ and ‘internal and external hemorrhage.”
The three people detained for his death were held on the charges of abandonment leading to death and the supply and facilitation of narcotics.
