In the days leading up to his tragic death, Liam Payne shared some light-hearted moments with his fans on Snapchat, capturing his activities in Argentina. The former One Direction star was enjoying his time in Buenos Aires, before fans woke up to tragic news of his passing.
Among his posts, the singer joked about his hair looking “cray-cray” and posted playful moments with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, before she left Argentina to return to the United States. Payne even shared plans to play polo, jokingly commenting on how the sport would leave him sore for weeks.
Despite these happy glimpses, Liam Payne’s death occurred shortly after these moments were posted. He fell from the third floor of his hotel, with reports suggesting he was under the influence of drugs at the time. Emergency personnel were called, but he suffered serious injuries from a cranial fracture that were untreatable. Emergency services chief Alberto Crescenti revealed:
“There was no resuscitation because it was confirmed that he had died.”
Fans have taken to social media to express their shock and sorrow, sharing Payne’s final Snapchats to honor the popstar who took them hand-to-hand during their teenage years.
