Argentine investigators announced that Liam Payne’s gold Rolex watch is missing.
The timepiece, valued at around $45,000 (£33,000), was last seen in photos taken on the day of Liam Payne’s tragic death when he fell from a third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires on 16 October.
“We know, from images that were analysed, that Payne was wearing a Rolex on the day of his death. He was wearing it on one of his hands and he had it for at least two to three hours before he (died),” a detective from the case told Argentine news outlet La Nacion.
“We looked for it in the room at the CasaSur hotel where he was staying and we couldn’t find it.”
Despite searches, the watch has not been located.
Authorities have conducted searches at the residences of individuals who were known to have been with Liam Payne on the day of his passing.
“By order of the court, the room was closed and no one was able to enter. The most urgent thing was to look for the watch in the homes of the people with whom Payne had contact before he died. Now another inspection will be carried out to determine if it was left somewhere in the room,” the investigator told the outlet.
“The watch was searched for at the homes of the people accused of the crimes of abandonment of a person and supply and facilitation of narcotics and at the homes of the two prostitutes who were with Payne in the room the afternoon of his death,” a judicial source said.
