On October 16, extremely sad news spread across the media. Liam Payne, the vocalist of One Direction, has died. According to local media reports, the singer fell from the third floor of the Casa Sur hotel in Buenos Aires. Liam Payne had been spending time in Argentina with his partner, Kate Cassidy, and had documented it on his Snapchat profile.
As reported by the "New York Post," the last photo posted on Liam Payne’s profile was one where the singer is sitting in a chair wearing a hat, with his hands folded on his lap. The caption of the photo reads: "Halloween costume idea: Forrest Gump." The website reports that this photo was posted just a few hours before his death. On the same day, his Snapchat also featured a photo of the hotel breakfast, where he mentioned that he and his partner "wake up every day at 1 PM," and a video stating they planned to spend the day playing polo. Another post included a selfie taken with Kate Cassidy, showing the couple in swimsuits posing in front of a mirror.
According to media reports, Payne's last updates on Snapchat appeared just hours before his death. However, it is unclear if Payne himself was the one posting the videos and photos. It is also not known exactly when they were taken, especially since, as the "New York Post" mentions, Cassidy left Buenos Aires two days before the singer’s death. The couple had been in Argentina's capital since the beginning of October.
As reported by the "Daily Mail," Liam Payne fell from the third floor of the hotel, from a height of 40 meters. Local services were called to the scene for a person lying on the patio of Casa Sur. Unfortunately, the musician's injuries were so severe that he could not be saved. Liam Payne's death was declared at 5:11 AM local time. The circumstances of his death are not yet clear. According to the tabloid, authorities are still working to determine exactly what happened at the hotel.
