Liam Payne's Girlfriend Kate Cassidy Breaks Silence On The Singer's Shocking Death

Liam Payne's girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, has taken to social media to share a heartfelt tribute to her late boyfriend two days after he died.

The couple arrived in Argentina together and were supposed to spend five days but ended up staying for two weeks.

In a TikTok video, Kate Cassidy revealed she left the South American country two days before Liam Payne died as she was homesick.

Two days after the "Midnight Hour" singer's death, his girlfriend Cassidy shared an emotional tribute to him, vowing to always love him and keep his memory alive.

The influencer took to her Instagram Stories on Friday to share her tributes to the late singer, starting by thanking everyone "for all of the kind words and love that has been sent my way."

"I have been at a complete loss. Nothing about the past few days has felt real," Cassidy continued. "I ask and pray that you'll give me the grace and space to navigate this in private."

Cassidy concluded her post by sharing a direct message to Payne, writing, "Liam, my angel. You are everything. I want you to know I loved you unconditionally and completely. I will continue to love you for the rest of my life. I love you, Liam."

The lovebirds traveled together earlier this month to attend Payne's former boy band mate Niall Horan's concert and were supposed to stay for only five days but ended up spending two weeks in the country.

Cassidy reportedly got homesick and left on October 14, two days before Payne died.

"I was so ready to leave," Cassidy shared in a TikTok video. "Honestly, love South America but I hate staying in one place for too long. And we were supposed to be there for, like, five days, turned into two weeks."

The model noted that she was so bent on going home, especially as she developed a "weird rash" before her flight due to her "anxiety."

"I was so happy to be home," she added on the clip. "It was so relieving."

Reports suggest that Payne was under the influence of drugs as he was acting erratically in the hotel and destroying things before he was escorted back to his room.

The hotel receptionist, who identified himself as Esteban in a call with 911 emergency service, said Payne was "off his head in drugs," asking for an ambulance to be urgently dispatched to the location.

According to the Daily Mail, the hotel staff made two calls to 911 emergency service, seeking "urgent" help for him.

In the first call, the staff said, "We have a guest who's off his head on drugs and is destroying everything in his room. We need someone to come."

Esteban then called back after the call went off, saying, "'I don't know if the guest's life is in danger. The room has a balcony, and we are afraid he might do something," after which he told the emergency officer to "just send an ambulance, only an ambulance."

Local media reports that Payne was "acting erratically in the hotel lobby and smashed his laptop" before he "had to be carried back to his room."

A woman who identified herself as Rebecca recounted her encounter with Payne to the DailyMail.

She told the news outlet that Payne was hanging out in the lobby of the hotel and was seemingly pissed by an email before he started slamming his system on the floor.

"I have a blind relative and I realized he had the laptop on its accessibility setting, for some reason, so that each time he moved the mouse, hovering over something the machine spoke out loud to say where the cursor was," Rebecca explained.

She went on, "I assumed he was doing that for the attention too. Then he opened his emails and saw one which obviously upset him. Suddenly, he took the computer, shouted 'f-ck this sh-t mate!' and started bashing the computer on the ground."

Payne's behavior seemingly left fellow guests and hotel staff concerned as he acted "so out of place."

Rebecca said she went over to ask him, "Are you OK?" but "he just kind of grunted," before saying he's "so f-cked up" because he "used to be in a boy band."

The singer's family spoke out on the star's death, expressing heartbreak and sadness at the shocking news.

"Liam will forever live in our hearts and we'll remember him for his kind, funny and brave soul," the statement read, per the BBC. "We are supporting each other the best we can as a family and ask for privacy and space at this awful time."

According to the Daily Mail, the singer's family also revealed they were "utterly devastated" by his loss.
