Liam Payne, known for his performances with the boy band One Direction, died on October 16 in Argentina after a fall from a hotel balcony on the third floor. Fans of the musician around the world were in disbelief, especially since just moments earlier, new content appeared on his Snapchat.
Liam Payne's last recordings before his death
Payne shared pictures of his meal with fans. He also talked about his plans for the rest of the day – he was going to play polo. He filmed his girlfriend, 25-year-old Kate Cassidy, while they were having breakfast together.
This is the breakfast table where we're just enjoying breakfast and coffee, even though it's 1:00 PM, he recounted.
He added that he and his partner planned to go horseback riding, and he himself "was probably going to play polo." As he mentioned, "it's very difficult," but he wanted "to have a little fun." In the next recording, Liam was alone, commenting on his hairstyle.
I look like the Joker, my hair is a bit crazy, he joked.
Liam Payne's last moments
That day, Liam Payne was particularly active on Snapchat. In another post, he recorded his girlfriend and their dog while watching Jimmy Carr on TV, asking fans for a caption. Then he posed shirtless with Kate for a mirror selfie.
It's a beautiful day in Argentina. Yes. It hurts a lot. It's very difficult, he said in another video, referring to an injury after playing polo, but we're having a good time here, at our dear friend Gon's house.
Although the recordings appeared on Liam's Snapchat shortly before his death, they were most likely not published by himself. Many celebrities have a team managing their social media. Payne's team likely published the content with a delay. Furthermore, they might have been created somewhat earlier. According to foreign media, on the day of his death, Liam Payne was not spending time with his girlfriend.
