Liam Payne’s death at 31 shocked fans worldwide, and his friend Roger Nores has now addressed accusations surrounding the singer’s final moments. Nores, a long-time companion of Payne, refuted claims that he abandoned the One Direction star, emphasizing the lengths he went to in supporting Payne’s battle with addiction.
In a heartfelt court filing, Nores expressed his devastation, insisting he acted selflessly but was ultimately unable to prevent Payne’s tragic fall from a hotel balcony in Argentina this October.
The investigation revealed Payne’s history of substance abuse, with Nores detailing multiple instances of near-fatal overdoses. Nores recounted Payne’s hospitalizations in Milan and London due to severe intoxications, painting a somber picture of the singer’s worsening condition. Despite numerous rehab attempts, Payne’s addiction escalated, with reports suggesting he resumed using harder substances by mid-2024.
