Liam Payne 'told fan just before he died he wanted to buy house in Buenos Aires'

Liam Payne’s family pay tribute after his death

Tragic Liam Payne revealed to a fan just over an hour before his death that he loved Buenos Aires so much he wanted to buy a house there.

Daiana Gauna met and chatted to her idol in the musician’s boutique city centre hotel lobby around 3pm last Wednesday (October 16) after waiting with friends to catch a glimpse of him.

The grief-stricken admirer of the former One Direction singer claimed last night she believed he had been pushed off a third-floor balcony at the Casamar Palermo Hotel as she broke down in tears while she recalled their last conversation, despite prosecutors revealing last week Liam appeared to have been alone at the time.

She told Argentinian TV show TN Central: “Liam looked in good shape, not drunk or aggressive like they’ve been saying on social media.

“He approached us and spent quite a bit of time talking to us and telling us about his experiences in Buenos Aires, the places he’d been to and where he wanted to go.

“He said he loved the city and would like to buy a home here, that he loved the countryside around Buenos Aires.

“We were outside the hotel when we first saw Liam and he invited us into the lobby. I was with three others. We were talking for 10 to 15 minutes. He said he had just woken up and was going to eat something and then go out.

“When he came down to the hotel reception the sister of a girlfriend of mine had just left school and was still on her way and we asked Liam if we could see him again later because she was bringing a present for him and he said: ‘Of course’.

“That was about 3.30pm.”

She added: “Liam also told us during the conversation that he’d been to the countryside with his girlfriend, that on Sunday morning about 7am they’d gone out running together.

“He told us he was really enjoying Buenos Aires."
