Liam Payne’s death was “bad luck” and a “tragedy”, says his best friend Roger Nores.
The 35-year-old was one of the last people to see Liam, 31, alive before he plunged to his death from his balcony at Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires on October 16. The Argentinian-born businessman has now explained that he had witnessed the One Direction star’s struggle with addition, but was unable to stop his downwards spiral. Nores said: “As a friend, you see them having a drugs problem and you do what you can but at the end of the day it’s their decision.
” You start seeing a chain of events and it was just bad luck, it happened in a way that ended in tragedy. “
In the interview with Reuters, Nores admitted feeling a certain level of anger towards his troubled friend, and said that he was focusing on accepting the situation so he could process the loss and move forwards.
He told Reuters:” When a tragedy like this happens and a close friend dies, part of the grieving process is getting angry and asking why they did it. The answer is they couldn’t help it, and they did everything they could, to be OK.
“Obviously, he was trying to do everything he could to be OK”, he said. “Sometimes you think, ‘ If I had this conversation with him, maybe it could have changed things. ‘ But you can’t change the past, you have to process it”.
Liam’s cause of death was confirmed as ‘ polytrauma, ‘ indicating multiple severe injuries to his body caused by his fall from the third floor balcony. Until last month, Nores was facing charges of manslaughter and abandonment connected to Liam’s death.
Five people had been charged in Argentina in connection with the death, three with manslaughter and two with supplying cocaine, but charges against three of the people were dropped. Nores was one of the five charged in relation to the singer’s death but the charges against Roger have been dropped.
The court determined that Nores wasn’t involved in Liam “obtaining and consuming alcohol” and couldn’t have prevented his passing.  , Speaking through his high-profile attorney Rafael Cuneo Libarona, Nores welcomed the news about the overturned appeal: “‘ We are happy to have reversed the decision by 360 degrees.
” We have always maintained that Rogelio Nores was not responsible for Liam Payne’s death. He was only his friend and had no duty or legal obligation to ensure his safety. “
Liam reportedly had a threesome with two prostitutes hours before he died.
A new forensic examination revealed he contacted two women through a sex-worker website and invited them to hang out in his hotel room during his stay in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The two women reportedly arrived at 11: 30am to find him inhaling a drug from aluminium foil.
However, after spending almost three hours in the room, Payne allegedly smashed the TV and demanded they leave without being paid. The singer’s final hours were documented in a 35-page court ruling prepared by judges in Argentina to explain their choice to drop charges against Nores.
In the wake of the dismissal of manslaughter charges against him, Nores is reportedly making plans to come to the UK to ‘ pay his respects ‘ to the late One Direction member after he was unable to attend his funeral.
