Liam Payne told his fans how his girlfriend was leaving Argentina during his chaotic final days after he was served with cease and desist letters by his ex-fiancée Maya Henry.
The 31-year-old, who shot to global stardom with the band One Direction, plunged to his death after falling from a third-floor balcony at a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Wednesday, October 16.
Wolverhampton-born Payne had arrived in South America with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy on September 30, staying in Argentina for two weeks after only planning to spend ‘five days’ there.
During their extended trip, Payne was reunited with Niall Horan after going to watch his former bandmate perform at the Movistar Arena, Buenos Aires, on October 2.
On October 12, Ms Cassidy, 25, posted a TikTok documenting her return to Florida, with Payne staying behind and checking into the £230-a-night Casa Sur Hotel alone.
Just 48 hours before his death, on October 14, it emerged that Payne’s ex-fiancée, Ms Henry, had started legal proceedings against Payne, accusing him of obsessively contact and ‘weaponising’ his fans against her.
Two days later, Payne posted several social media videos, including one where he jokingly called his girlfriend a ‘loser’ for going home. Hours later, police were called to the hotel following reports of an ‘aggressive man who could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol’.
