Liam Payne's girlfriend explains why she suddenly left him alone in Argentina before his tragic death

Liam Payne's girlfriend Kate Cassidy left him in Argentina hours before his tragic death. She explained her decision on social media.

Liam Payne's girlfriend Kate Cassidy explained on social media why she left her partner solo in Argentina before his tragic death. Liam’s death was announced on Wednesday.

Liam, who was known for being one fifth of One Direction, found fame in 2011 after appearing on The X Factor, when judge Simon Cowell placed him in a band with Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and Niall Horan.

The former hitmaker was holidaying in Buenos Aires with Kate when he fell from the third floor of a hotel. She is not believed to have been there when he died. The pair were vacationing in Argentina after Liam made an appearance at the concert of his former bandmate, Mullingar man Niall.

However, Kate admitted it was starting to feel a bit too long to hang out in the country when she posted a TikTok, detailing her trip back home to Florida.

She said: "I was so ready to leave. Love South America, but I hate staying in one place for too long and we were supposed to be there for five days, turned into two weeks and I was just like, 'I need to go home.'"

Liam chose not to go with her but Kate didn't specify a reason as to why. Instead, she showed off her luxury flight home which included a steak meal. She also showed her boarding pass, made a joke about how her seat number was "1D," much like the band of her boyfriend. Kate also admitted that she usually travels with a Squishmellow, but had given hers to Liam.

About 48 hours after the social media post, Liam was found dead after falling from his third floor hotel room.

Police, firefighters and ambulances were seen outside of a hotel building after Liam tragically fell. Police are said to have been called to reports of a man acting aggressively at the hotel who could be under the effect of drink or drugs.

A body was found in an internal patio of the hotel. The police were called to the hotel by the hotel manager. It's believed that Liam fell from around 13 or 14 metres and suffered "very serious injuries incompatible with life." While City ambulance service provider spokesman Alberto Crescenti said he had fallen around 40 metres and suffered “severe injuries which were incompatible with life.”

In a statement, the local ambulance manager told TN: "At 17.04 through the 911 integrated public safety system, we were alerted of a person who was in an internal courtyard of the management of a south house hotel.

"At 17.11 a SAME team arrived and verified the death of this man and later we found out that he was a singer in a musical group. Unfortunately, he had injuries that were incompatible with life, as a result of his fall, so we had to confirm his death, there was no possibility of resuscitation."
