Liam Payne could have been killed for his expensive Rolex watch

On Thursday, Argentine prosecutors confirmed that three people had been arrested in connection with Payne’s death, on charges of “abandonment of a person followed by death, supplying and facilitating narcotics.”

They include a hotel worker accused of supplying Payne with cocaine, while the other two are described as a personal companion and a drug supplier.

The investigation, overseen by prosecutor Andrés Esteban Madrea, involved analyzing more than 800 hours of CCTV footage from the hotel and surrounding areas, in addition to interviews with hotel staff, family, friends and medical professionals.

Investigators also conducted a “forensic extraction” of Payne’s cell phone, examining his calls, messages and app data as part of the investigation.
