Liam Payne was part of a generational boy band in One Direction. The singer became one of the more polarizing members as he got older, but fans everywhere remain stunned by his untimely death. Payne reportedly fell off a hotel balcony to his death on October 16. The singer was staying in Argentina, and TMZ claims to have obtained photos of his body in the immediate aftermath. The footage that has left fans shocked, however, is the Snapchat Story that Liam Payne posted just one hour before his death.
In a deleted Snapchat Story, Payne updated fans from his Argentina hotel. He announced that he was having a "lovely day" with girlfriend Kate Cassidy. He also detailed some of the activities he had planned. The couple intended to go horse riding and play polo. Cassidy, who appears in the Snapchat, can also be heard joking about their lazy habits. The actress/influencer claimed they slept in until 1 pm, and Payne playfully refuted the notion they are "losers." The One Direction star also posted photos of his breakfast and various parts of the hotel. "Happy I got some time away," he wrote in the caption of one scenic shot.
Liam Payne Claimed To Be Having A 'Lovely Day'
Liam Payne's Snapchat Stories are a far cry from the TMZ reports about his behavior. The outlet spoke to several eyewitnesses who claimed the singer was acting "aggressive" in the lobby. He allegedly broke a laptop and was carried back to his hotel room. The outlet further alleges that a 911 call was made due to alarming behavior by a guest. Payne was not mentioned, but the timing of the call aligns with the claims of his disruptive behavior.
It's also worth noting the presence of Kate Cassidy in the Snapchat Stories. TMZ reported that Cassidy left Argentina on October 14, meaning she was not present when the videos of her were posted. Page Six theorizes that Liam Payne was posting videos and photos taken from the preceding weekend in the time leading up to his death. The outlet claims that the singer fell to his death shortly after 5 pm. By 5:30, the aforementioned Snaps were removed from his Main Stories and archived under "Spotlight."
