Liam Payne's Funeral Date Set

The date for Liam Payne's funeral has been confirmed, and it appears that his manager, Rogelio Roger Nores, will not be in attendance. The beloved One Direction star is set to be laid to rest this week in his hometown of Wolverhampton, following the transfer of his remains from Argentina to the UK. The service will be private, exclusively for those close to him.

Tragic Circumstances of Liam's Passing

Tragically, Liam, who was only 31 years old, lost his life on October 16 after falling from a third-story balcony at a hotel in Buenos Aires. A recent statement released by the National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor's Office revealed that toxicology results shared with Liam's family indicated the presence of alcohol, cocaine, and prescription antidepressants in his system at the time of his death. This shocking revelation adds further complexity to an already heart-wrenching situation.

Investigation and Family Tensions

As the investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death continues, it seems that tensions are high regarding the guest list for the funeral. A source informed The Sun that Liam's family is eager for the ceremony to proceed smoothly, but they harbor reservations about Roger's presence. While Roger maintains that he had a close relationship with Liam, many in his inner circle feel differently, believing Roger may have played a role that underscores the complexities of their interactions.

Concerns Over Attendance

The source further explained, "While Liam and Roger shared a bond, his presence at the funeral has raised concerns within the family. There has been some strain over the guest list, and with the investigation still ongoing in Argentina, it's clear Roger is not welcome at the service." This revelation highlights the rift that not only exists within Liam's family but also among friends and associates who remember him fondly.

Relationship With Rogelio Nores

Liam and Rogelio had a relationship that extended beyond professional boundaries, having reconnected prior to Liam's journey to Argentina with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy. However, reports suggest that many were unaware of this reconnection until the circumstances of Liam's death unfolded. In an effort to defend himself, Roger has publicly asserted, “I never abandoned Liam, I went to his hotel three times that day and left 40 minutes before the incident occurred. I truly couldn't have anticipated what was about to happen.”

Focus on Honoring Liam's Life

As the world mourns the loss of this talented musician, the focus now shifts to ensuring that his funeral honors his life and legacy, free from any controversy that may overshadow the event. Per Liam’s family's wishes, it is hoped that the ceremony will provide a moment of solace and reflection for those who loved him.
