Liam Payne posted about having a 'lovely day' on Snapchat before his death
Former One Direction member, Liam Payne, posted now-deleted videos as story entries on the messaging platform Snapchat before his death.
As spotted by multiple media outlets like Page Six, the singer shared a selfie video with a text caption that read, "Lovely day in Argentina," followed by a red heart emoji.
He was seen spending time with his girlfriend, American actress Kate Cassidy. They were having breakfast at the dining room table as they were discussing their plans for the day, including polo and horse riding.
In another video, Payne, who was wearing a cap, was beside Cassidy making silly faces with the caption, "Quality time," plus a smiling face with hearts emoji.
He also shared a view of the hotel's couch and table outdoors, with the caption, "Happy I got some time away," plus a red heart emoji.
Payne likewise posted videos of their food, including cookies. "Need a sweet treat," he wrote in the caption with smiling emojis.
It's unclear whether the stories were posted in real-time or late.
According to Page Six, Cassidy seemingly left Argentina over the weekend. She has yet to issue a statement on Payne's death.
TMZ and other media outlets reported on Thursday, Oct. 17 that Payne passed away after falling from his hotel window in Buenos Aires. He was 31.
He had suffered "very serious injuries incompatible with life as a result of his fall," the head of the city's SAME emergency medical service, Alberto Crescenti, told local television, adding "there was no possibility of resuscitation."
He also appeared to have suffered a fracture at the base of his skull from the fall Crescenti said was "about 13 or 14 meters" (about 43 or 46 feet).
Payne was part of the boy band One Direction along with Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, and Niall Horan. It was formed in 2010 and became known for various hits such as What Makes You Beautiful, Little Things, and Best Song Ever, among others.
