Respected Argentinian daily La Nacion reported that Liam’s father was personally informed in a recent meeting with prosecution chief Andres Madrea that he could return to the UK with Liam’s body two weeks after arriving in the South American country following his son’s tragic three-storey hotel fall.
It stated: “All the documents are ready for the former One Direction singer to return to his homeland so a funeral can take place there next week. When Geoff Payne reached Argentina on October 18 he was told the repatriation process could take between four and five days, but because of the circumstances surrounding his son’s death things took longer than expected.”
The Public Prosecutor’s Office in Buenos Aires is still investigating the circumstances around the singer’s tragic passing.

According to TMZ, law enforcement sources in Buenos Aires told the outlet that the raids were conducted on Tuesday night. It adds that officers also searched the hotel lockers of the workers and reviewed security footage from the hotel CasaSur Palermo.

It claims one of the singer’s ‘friends’ had also been identified due to text messages. It’s reportedly being looked into who was involved in allegedly getting the singer drugs.
