Liam Payne, known for performing with the boy band One Direction, died on October 16 in Argentina after falling from a hotel balcony on the third floor. Music fans worldwide could not believe it was true, especially since new content had appeared on his Snapchat moments earlier.

Payne showed fans pictures of his food and shared plans for the rest of the day, which included playing polo. He also filmed his 25-year-old girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, while they were having breakfast.
Is the breakfast table. I'm just eating an orange. Just enjoying coffee and breakfast even though it's like 1 PM, he reported.
He added that according to their plans, he and his partner intended to go horseback riding, and he "would probably play polo." He mentioned that "it's very difficult," but "he wants to have some fun." In the next recording, Liam was alone, commenting on his hair.
I look like the Joker, my hair's a bit cray-cray, he joked.
The last moments of Liam Payne
That day, Liam Payne was particularly active on Snapchat. In another post, he recorded his girlfriend and their dog while they were watching Jimmy Carr on TV, asking fans for captions. Then he posed shirtless with Kate for a mirror selfie.
It's a lovely day here in Argentina. Yeah. It hurts a lot. It's very tough to do, he said in another video, referring to an injury from playing polo. - But we're enjoying ourselves here at our lovely friend Gon's house. Shout out, Gon, wherever Gon is. Shout out, Gon. Big bad Gon.
Even though the recordings appeared on Liam's Snapchat just moments before his death, he likely did not post them himself. Many stars have a team managing their social media, and Payne's team was likely publishing content with a delay. Moreover, it might have been created a bit earlier. According to foreign media reports, on the day of his death, Liam Payne was not spending time with his girlfriend.
