Argentine Police Conduct Second Raid at CasaSur Hotel After Liam Payne’s Tragic Death; Report
Trigger Warning: This article references death
The CasaSur Hotel in Buenos Aires, where Liam Payne stayed before his death in October, has been raided for a second time by city police. According to local sources who spoke with Us Weekly, this latest raid occurred on November 5. Payne, a former member of One Direction, passed away on October 16.
“Operations were carried out by the City Police [and] within the framework of the case that is under summary secrecy,” the sources told the outlet, referring to a prosecutor preserving the confidentiality of the sensitive judicial investigation.
In video footage obtained by Us courtesy of Frandula Show, a local news outlet, three law enforcement officials were seen exiting the hotel building wearing blue vests, backpacks, and shoulder bags. One officer carried a cardboard box and several loose items under his arm, which he placed in the trunk of a police car.
Tuesday’s operation followed an initial raid on October 23, when sources told Us that the raid aimed to identify staff members on duty when Payne allegedly fell from his third-floor balcony. The Teardrops singer reportedly plunged to his death while unconscious after a drug overdose. Investigators are reportedly seeking a hotel staff member who may have supplied the singer with narcotics in the hours leading up to his demise.
During the first raid, officers requested documents from the hotel’s registration books, computer data, and security camera footage.
As of this writing, Payne’s funeral is still pending. The late singer’s father is said to be in Argentina to assist in the investigation of his son’s tragic death, as well as to oversee the repatriation of his body to the UK.

For those unfamiliar, Liam Payne rose to fame as one of the five iconic boy band One Direction members alongside bandmates Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, and Louis Tomlinson. Payne had traveled to Argentina to attend Horan’s concert with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy. Following the show, the musician reportedly extended his stay due to issues with the documents needed to fly to the U.S., his partner’s home country.
At the time of his death, the singer was alone in Argentina, as Cassidy had returned to Florida just two days prior.
Payne is survived by his father, Geoff Payne; his mother, Karen; two older sisters, Ruth and Nicole Payne; and his 7-year-old son, Bear Grey, whom he shared with ex-girlfriend Cheryl Cole.

Who Is Austin Swift? Everything We Know About Taylor Swift’s Brother Who Recently Attended The Chiefs Games With Her
Austin Swift, the younger brother of pop superstar Taylor Swift, has been a constant figure in his sister’s journey to superstardom. Recently, he gained more attention when he joined Taylor at a Kansas City Chiefs game on November 4, 2024, where she was supporting her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
Fans are eager to know more about Austin, who has mostly stayed out of the spotlight. Here’s a look at everything we know about Taylor Swift’s brother.
Austin Swift was born on March 11, 1992, in West Reading, Pennsylvania, and is two-and-a-half years younger than his famous sister, Taylor. Growing up, the Swift family lived on a Christmas tree farm.
The family eventually moved to Nashville, Tennessee, when Taylor was a teenager so she could pursue a career in country music. Austin, on the other hand, chose a different path that eventually led him to a career in film.
Austin attended the University of Notre Dame and graduated in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in film studies. His passion for film was ignited at a young age, and he found comfort in the characters on the big screen during his school years, especially since he didn’t have many friends.
In a 2017 interview with Vanity Fair, Austin shared, “I would go to the movies, and Daniel Craig was my friend, and Christian Bale was my friend, and Clive Owen was my friend, and Viggo Mortensen was my friend.”
After college, Austin pursued acting and landed his first role in the 2016 crime thriller I.T., followed by a role in the Ben Affleck-directed gangster film Live by Night. His acting career continued to grow, and in 2018, he took on his first leading role in the film Cover Versions.
Austin’s most recent acting role was in the 2019 film Braking for Whales. He also ventured into television, making appearances in two episodes of Still the King, a CMT comedy starring Billy Ray Cyrus, as well as in the political comedy Embeds in 2017.
While Austin did enjoy his time in front of the camera, his true passion extended beyond acting. He became involved in film production, working behind the scenes for his sister Taylor’s music videos and projects.
Austin served as a producer on the 2009 music video for Taylor’s hit song You Belong With Me and was credited as an executive producer for her 2011 video for Mean.
In 2020, Austin took on a larger role as an executive producer for Taylor Swift: Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions, a special where Taylor performed the songs from her Folklore album in order, offering behind-the-scenes insights into the creative process.
Austin continued his production work, serving as a producer for Taylor’s 2021 music video for I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor’s Version), which was directed by Taylor’s close friend, actress Blake Lively.
Taylor Swift’s lyrics have often paid tribute to her brother. On her 2008 album Fearless, she sings about her brother in the song The Best Day, with the line: “God smiles on my little brother, inside and out, he’s better than I am.” Later, on her 2010 album Speak Now, Taylor sings about Austin in the track Never Grow Up, with the lyrics, “All your little brother’s favorite songs.”
