The British singer fell from the third-floor balcony of the Casa Sur hotel in Buenos Aires. The injuries he sustained were incompatible with life. Alcohol and narcotic substances were found in his system. Liam’s 25-year-old girlfriend was vacationing with him in Argentina but returned to the U.S. two days before the tragedy. Kate Cassidy revealed that they were making plans for their future together.
She shared a black-and-white photo with her boyfriend and also showed a note he wrote to her. Liam had drawn a rose on the envelope. “Kate and I will marry within a year and be together forever,” Payne wrote.
He added the number 444 as a sweet detail. This was a number that Kate used to sign her messages to him, which she described as her favorite sequence that reminds her that there is always someone to support you when you’re feeling down.
“Several weeks ago, we were sitting outside on a beautiful evening, imagining our life together. I keep your note, even though you told me not to open it. Liam, I know we will be together forever, just not in the way we planned. You will always be with me. I have a guardian angel now. I will love you until the end of my days and even after, carrying our dreams and memories with me everywhere,” Cassidy shared.
She stated that the singer will always be her best friend and the love of her life. According to Kate, Liam had such contagious energy that she now doesn’t know how to live without him. The couple regularly wrote notes to each other, believing that through the power of faith, they could effectively manifest their goals into reality. Kate also posted a photo of them with their dog, Nala, whom they adopted a month before their trip to Argentina in hopes of creating a loving family.
Kate and Liam started dating in October 2022, and by the end of that year, they made their red carpet debut at the Fashion Awards. The couple dismissed breakup rumors when they were spotted on a date in London last June. A few months later, Cassidy was by Payne’s side in the hospital, where he was treated for a serious kidney infection.
