Roger Nores, a friend of the late Liam Payne, has made a disturbing comment following the singer’s tragic death. Liam, aged 31, passed away on October 16 after falling from a third-floor balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Roger, an Argentinian entrepreneur, was one of five individuals charged in connection with Liam’s death. The two became close after meeting at a Vogue event in London in 2020. Despite being with Liam on the day of his death, Roger has continuously maintained his innocence.
In a recent interview, Roger expressed disbelief over the incident, stating, “I never abandoned Liam, I went to his hotel three times that day and left 40 minutes before this happened.” He added, “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’m really heart-broken with this tragedy, and I’ve been missing my friend every day.”
During a conversation with MailOnline journalist Fred Kelly, Roger made a chilling comment, still visibly distraught over the situation. Fred noted, “The most shocking charge is the one brought against Payne’s friend and confidant Roger Nores, a man I got to know well back in November.” Roger appeared in the documentary TMZ Investigates: Liam Payne: Who’s to Blame? reiterating his innocence in Liam’s passing. He refuted claims that Liam was intoxicated and disorderly before the incident, describing Liam as “perfectly balanced” and in good spirits.
The CasaSur Palermo Hotel staff, including the chief receptionist and head of security, have also been charged with manslaughter in connection to Liam’s death. Two phone calls were made to emergency services from the hotel before Liam was found deceased. Despite the tragic events, Roger maintains his stance of innocence and continues to mourn the loss of his friend.
