Liam Payne‘s partner departed Argentina shortly before the musician’s tragic passing, stating she preferred not to linger in one location for extended periods – leaving after a planned 5-day stay unexpectedly extended to two weeks.
Kate Cassidy – a Miami-based social media influencer – shared a video reflecting on her return to the U.S. from Buenos Aires on Monday, just two days prior to Liam’s fatal incident at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel.
Katie kicks off her clip by expressing her intent to leave the country, citing her dislike for overstaying in one place. She had initially intended to remain for 5 days, but ended up staying for roughly 2 weeks – prompting her desire to return home.
Later, KC shares her memories of Liam within the video, amusingly revealing that she had to acquire a neck pillow because – despite frequently traveling with a Squishmallow – she had gifted it to Liam, who was not accompanying her.
The video then provides fans with a glimpse into her return journey to the U.S., showcasing her meal choices and a brief preview of the flight, culminating in her arrival back at her residence in Florida, where she nestled back into her own bed.
In addition, numerous online commentators have highlighted that Liam shared a video on Snapchat mere hours before his tragic passing. In the footage, Katie’s voice is heard – presumably recorded previously during their trip – as Liam showcases his stylish accommodations in the South American nation.
As previously reported … Liam tragically lost his life Wednesday afternoon — and, based on 911 recordings, Payne appeared to be experiencing a breakdown in his hotel room on the third floor just prior to his fall.
The hotel manager indicated that a guest — likely Liam — was “overcome by substances and alcohol” … and that the staff had expressed concern for his well-being since they had been unable to access his room in recent days.
Authorities are currently examining whether his fall was a result of an accident or a deliberate act.
