Liam Payne's girlfriend Kate Cassidy's cryptic post after leaving him alone in Argentina

Former One Direction star Liam Payne was tragically found dead at his hotel in Argentia - and just 48 hours earlier, he was enjoying his romantic getaway with girlfriend Kate Cassidy before she decided to fly home

In the days leading up to his tragic death last month, Liam Payne had been enjoying a sun-soaked holiday with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy.

The couple were in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where just days before Liam fell to his death from the third floor of his hotel balcony he had been watching his former bandmate, Niall Horan, perform, and stayed on after the concert to extend their holiday. But on October 16, at just 31, Liam was found dead at his hotel Casa Sur Palmero.

Since the singer's passing, three people have been charged and a post-mortem revealed he died from multiple traumas leading to an "internal and external haemorrhage". A toxicology report said Liam had anti-depressants and cocaine in his system at the time of his death – despite having been clean from drugs just days before. But in the weeks after his death. Police are still trying to discover how Liam was in possession of illegal substances. It has since been claimed that Liam had asked a hotel employee to secure "seven grams" of "cocaine" prior to his death.

It's claimed that Class A drugs were smuggled to Liam's hotel room, disguised in a Dove soap box. Hotel staff have since stated that only employees have access to the location where the soap supplies are held.

In his last social media video before his shock death, he showed himself and the 25-year-old influencer at the breakfast table, with it captioned: "Lovely day in Argentina [love heart emoji]." He filmed Kate waving who revealed how they "sleep in everyday until 12, we're such losers." To which Liam replied: "No" before giggling.

But Liam was then left to enjoy the South American country alone as Kate decided to fly home back to Florida. She admitted it was starting to feel a bit too long to hang out in the country when she posted a TikTok before the incident. She said: "I was so ready to leave. Love South America, but I hate staying in one place for too long and we were supposed to be there for five days, turned into two weeks and I was just like, 'I need to go home.'" Liam instead chose to stick around at the hotel and around 48 hours later, he was found dead.

It was a relatively new relationship for Liam, who began dating Kate in 2022. They were first pictured wearing Halloween costumes, with Kate dressed as Pamela Anderson, while Payne, sporting a white tank top, went as her ex-husband Tommy Lee. Two months later, they made their official debut at the British Fashion Awards in London on the red carpet.

Kate claimed to have 'manifested' her romance with the star when she was just 10 years old. In a clip shared to her TikTok in November 2023, she began: "I am the best manifester, and I'm going to show you why." She revealed she had drawn an image of the pop singer onto a "popsicle stick", adding: "And somehow 10 years later." She filmed herself opening the door to her childhood bedroom, where the real-life Liam was sat on her bed.

Smiling for the camera together, she joked: "Be careful what you wish for!" More recently, Kate gave an insight into her holiday with Liam with her 250,000 followers on Instagram. Posting a picture of the two horse riding, she wrote: "I am very grateful for the simple things in life."

In another snap, the couple were seen posing for a selfie, which she captioned: "Quality time." Kate has not yet publicly commented on her partner's death. Police, firefighters and ambulances were seen outside the hotel building after Liam tragically fell.
