Liam Payne, former One Direction star, tragically fell to his death from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. It has emerged that before the incident, Payne had extended his stay in Argentina to meet bandmate Niall Horan. Buenos Aires Security Ministry communications director Pablo Policicchio confirmed that the 31-year-old late singer “had jumped from the balcony of his room” on the third floor of CasaSur Palermo Hotel. New reports in The Post suggest that the singer pleaded with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, to stay back with him, but she declined, saying she disliked staying in one place for too long. Investigations are ongoing, and more details are surfacing about his final moments.
Liam Payne and his girlfriend, Cassidy, had different plans for their trip in Argentina. Cassidy returned to Florida four days before Payne tragically fell from the balcony of his hotel. The influencer’s friend said Liam never told her when he’d be ready to leave, so she booked a ticket home herself. He was really upset about it.
The friend added, “Liam didn’t want Kate to leave Argentina. He wanted her to stay. She says he begged her to stay. It was actually a little more heated than you’d think. He didn’t know why she would leave him, but she wanted to be home with her dog. He didn’t like that at all. He was really moody about it.”
Authorities report that Liam Payne spent the two hours before his death with two 25-year-old women he met through an escort website. The women said they were drinking with Payne in his hotel room at the CasaSur hotel when an argument about payment broke out. They left the room about an hour before his tragic fall.
Before his fatal fall around 5 p.m., Liam Payne was seen arguing with a woman, believed to be one of the escorts, in the hotel lobby at around 2 p.m. Witness Michael Fleishmann reported to the Buenos Aires Herald that Payne repeatedly said, “I’ll give you $20,000 just because I can. I have $55 million and I like to help people”.
