One Direction and solo singer Liam Payne tragically passed away in Argentina on October 16, 2024, after going to see another old One Direction member Niall at his concert.
Payne allegedly jumped out of his balcony room. There is still an open investigation as to why or what caused him to jump or if he even jumped. He left behind his 7-year-old son and his ex-wife and many friends and family including his girlfriend Kate Cassidy, who was in Argentina but left two days before the tragedy.
Liam struggled with substances that day. “Pink cocaine” was found in his system. He didn’t seem himself on that fateful day. He allegedly donated money to charities, disturbing the other guests and smashing his laptop in the hotel lobby and the TV in his room.
Unfortunately, Liam was sent back to his room multiple times. Even after he said he didn’t want to be alone, he was forced back to his room one last time before he “jumped.”
This wouldn’t have happened if the hotel employees called the ambulance, but allegedly didn’t because one of the employees gave him the substance. Liam jumped with a hat on and his shoes on making many believe he wanted to get out of that room for reasons unknown.
I believe Liam could have been helped and I think he didn’t want to die due to his recent videos before death. After Liam passed, TMZ posted his body then soon realized that wasn’t the best idea and took it down.
Many people have spoken out about Liam, including his girlfriend and ex-wife, and the other four members of One Direction posted individually and after four days on their group Instagram. There are many stories and conspiracy about Liam’s death, but it is sad to know he was loved by many and in many of people’s childhoods.
Even without being a famous star, he was still a human who had a family and friends. May he rest in peace.
