Liam Payne's Friend Roger Nores Sues Late Singer's Father Amidst Ongoing Investigation into Death

Four months after Liam Payne's death, his friend Roger Nores is pursuing a $10 million defamation lawsuit against Payne's father, Geoff, despite being cleared of manslaughter charges in Argentina. Payne, 31, died in October after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. Nores claims Geoff Payne falsely implicated him in Liam's death, alleging he was responsible for the singer's well-being. Nores insists he seeks an apology, not financial gain, and would donate any settlement to Payne's son, Bear. He also revealed Payne had been sectioned months before his death following an overdose, highlighting the singer's struggles with addiction. Argentinian prosecutors are considering appealing the dismissal of manslaughter charges against Nores and two hotel employees, while two others still face drug-related charges in connection with Payne's death.
