Liam Payne’s Rolex watch went missing after fatal fall

12 November 2024 at 19:33

Police in Argentina are searching for Liam Payne’s missing Rolex watch after his fatal fall from his hotel balcony last month.

The “One Direction” artist’s expensive timepiece went missing around the same time of his fatal fall from the third floor of CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, authorities tell TMZ.

Payne’s father, Geoff, flew to the city to gather his son’s possessions and realized it was missing. Geoff noted that the watch has sentimental value. Police then confirmed their uncertainty about its whereabouts.

Security cameras reportedly show Payne was wearing the watch just hours before his death. But authorities also say he wasn’t wearing it when he fell from the balcony. In turn, they say it was not stolen off his body.

“He had it in one of his hands and he had it at least two to three hours before his fatal hotel fall,” a prosecution source told Buenos Aires newspaper, La Nacion.

Per the outlet, the watch was also nowhere to be found during the police raids on the hotel or at the homes of the three suspects who were arrested in connection to Payne’s death.

All three defendants — a friend of Payne’s, an alleged drug dealer and a hotel housekeeper — were charged with supplying the entertainer with narcotics and abandoning him.

Police plan to do another sweep of his suite at the hotel in case they missed it.
