BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Drugs are the only thing to blame in the death of former One Direction star Liam Payne, according to a close friend who was cleared last month of charges he was involved with the singer's death.
Rogelio "Roger" Nores, speaking to Reuters on Friday alongside his lawyer, described Payne's October fall from a Buenos Aires hotel balcony as "bad luck" and a "tragedy."
