Police in Argentina have said that the One Direction singer “jumped from the balcony” of his hotel room, causing him to plunge to his death in the early hours of the morning

(

A woman who had a brief encounter with the late One Direction star, Liam Payne, was taken aback when he confessed that being in a boyband had left him “f—ed up”.

The 31-year-old father of one was staying at a luxury hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina when he tragically fell from his third-floor balcony. A fan, known only as Rebecca, described him as “desperate” for recognition, claiming he introduced himself to a line of guests waiting for an elevator, shouting: “I’m Liam,” but they seemed unimpressed.

According to Rebecca, Liam returned to the lobby with his laptop and began using the “accessibility setting” that read out his emails aloud, seemingly for attention.

 

She speculated that he saw an email that upset him, as he suddenly shouted, “f— this s— mate!” and started smashing his laptop on the floor. His erratic behavior shocked those present in the upscale hotel.

Concerned, Rebecca asked if he was alright, to which he grunted and then admitted: “I used to be in a boyband. That’s why I’m so f***ed up.” Stunned by his confession, she watched as he reentered the elevator. Shortly after, a “British guy” apologized to the group on Liam’s behalf, explaining that he sometimes “gets so high”.

Rebecca noted that he seemed to be under the influence and was acting aggressively, although he was not lashing out at anyone in particular. Authorities have now revealed that the singer reportedly “jumped from the balcony” of his hotel room, leading to his tragic and fatal fall.

In an alarming twist to the earlier narrative, police officials confirmed to The Associated Press that the 31-year-old celebrity “had jumped from the balcony of his room,” clearing up any previous uncertainty about the nature of the incident. Initial autopsy findings point to “multiple traumas” causing “internal and external bleeding” as the cause of death after the fall.

The heartbreaking event unfolded during Liam’s visit to Buenos Aires with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy. The pair were staying in the Argentine capital to support Liam’s One Direction bandmate, Niall Horan, on his tour.

Members of the world-renowned band One Direction have offered emotional tributes to their late friend and “brother” expressing their deep sorrow over the loss. In heartfelt words from “Louis, Zayn, Niall and Harry”, they stated: “We’re completely devastated by the news of Liam’s passing. In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly. The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever. For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and the fans who loved him alongside us. We will miss him terribly. We love you Liam.”

Liam Payne ‘begged’ girlfriend Kate Cassidy to stay in Argentina in ‘heated’ exchange pre-death

Liam Payne allegedly pleaded with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, to stay with him in Argentina before she fled the country and he tragically died.

“Liam didn’t want Kate to leave Argentina,” a friend of the influencer told The Post Friday. “He wanted her to stay. She says he begged her to stay.”

The pal, who asked to remain anonymous, shared the the couple’s exchange was “actually a little more heated than you’d think,” but did not elaborate further.

“She says he begged her to stay,” one of Cassidy’s friends told The Post Friday.
Cassidy shared on TikTok Monday that she “was so ready to leave” Argentina. She told her followers that she and Payne had planned to be there for only five days, but the trip ended up lasting two weeks.

 

 

“Honestly, I love South America, but I hate staying in one place for too long,” she said at the time.

Despite the explanation, her friend told The Post that Payne “didn’t know why” Cassidy would leave him.

“She wanted to be home with her dog,” the source explained. “He didn’t like that at all. He was really moody about it.”

The couple had flown to Argentina to support Payne’s former One Direction bandmate Niall Horan, who had a concert there on Oct. 2. The singer also used that opportunity to make up with his longtime friend.

However, the influencer shared with her TikTok followers that she was ready to fly back to the US because she doesn’t like to stay in the same place for too long. Kate Cassidy/TikTok
In a since-deleted video on Snapchat, Payne teased Cassidy over her leaving their vacation early.

“So it’s going to be a nice day, and then, you’re going home. Ha ha, loser, weirdo,” the “What Makes You Beautiful” singer said in the social media clip.

Cassidy’s friend added that the influencer had gotten antsy because Payne had given her “no indication of when he’d be ready to leave” and so she “took things into her own hands and got herself a ticket” home.

“He was really unhappy about that,” the pal claimed. “He made sure she knew that.”

Despite the alleged tiff over her flying back home to Florida, the friend said Payne and Cassidy — who started dating two years ago and lived together — “weren’t having trouble.”

Payne had reportedly given Cassidy “no indication” of when he was ready to leave Argentina.

However, new information about what Payne was reportedly up to in the hours before he died have left Cassidy with some unanswered questions, per her pal.

“She has to wrap her mind around it,” the friend said in response to reports that the pop star was partying with prostitutes in his hotel room before his death.

Earlier on Friday, Cassidy released a statement, saying she is at “a complete loss” over Payne’s death.

“Nothing about the past few days have felt real. I ask and pray that you’ll give me the grace and space to navigate this in private,” she wrote via Instagram.

In a message to the “Night Changes” singer, she wrote, “Liam, my angel. You are everything. I want you to know I loved you unconditionally and completely. I will continue to love you for the rest of my life.”

Eyewitnesses told several outlets they recalled seeing Payne acting unusually and causing a scene at his hotel. liampayne/Instagram
Payne died on Wednesday after falling from the third-story balcony of his room at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires. He was 31 years old.

Leading up to his fatal fall, fellow hotel guests had reported seeing the “Story of My Life” singer “acting erratic,” including smashing his laptop in the lobby after receiving an email that seemingly “upset” him.

The hotel manager was overheard in a 911 call, released this week, stating that a male guest appeared “high and drunk” and had been destroying his room. The staffer feared for the man’s life.

When police arrived, though, Payne had sadly already fallen to his death. Investigators then discovered drug paraphernalia and alcohol scattered all over his trashed hotel suite.

Authorities noted in their autopsy report that Payne suffered a fractured skull and attributed his cause of death to multiple traumas, internal and external bleeding from the injuries he sustained.

The National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office also said in the report, however, that they do not suspect foul play. The death is still under investigation.

Payne is survived by his 7-year-old son, Bear, whom he shared with ex Cheryl Cole.

A poignant letter from King Charles discussing the ‘unbearable emptiness’ of grief four months after Princess Diana‘s death has come to light 27 years on.

He adds that he can imagine the ‘agony’ he was going through and ‘longed to wave a magic wand to transform the situation’.

Charles then laments the ‘bewilderment and confusion that accompanies the removal of someone so young from the world’.

He elaborates on his Christian faith and his beliefs on what happens when someone dies, quoting a Bible passage that states ‘now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face’.

He writes: ‘I have been thinking so much of you yesterday and today, knowing how deeply you will be affected by yesterday’s tragic news about dear Liz.

‘My heart bleeds for you as I can imagine so well the utter agony and despair you must have gone through during all these heart-rendering months that you have known about Liz’s illness.

‘All of us who know you-and are so fond you both-have felt the agony in a far lesser way of course, but have longed to wave a magic wand to transform the situation.

‘I often think that that is the worst part of all-being unable to help in any constructive way except to say constant prayers in the background & to try and surround you both with love & affection & concern.

‘I can so well imagine the unbearable emptiness you must feel at this time; the sense of bewilderment & confusion that accompanies the removal of someone still so young from this world.

‘Personally, I believe that there is another dimension beyond this physical one & that we will be amazed to discover it for ourselves when we are eventually-or at a moment-called upon to make that certain journey for ourselves.

‘As it says in the Bible-‘Now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face.’

‘I can’t tell you how pleased & happy I am to have known Liz. She was such a great life-enhancer.

‘We shall all have such special memories of her but, above all, Peter, we mind about you & you are so very much in my thoughts and prayers at this most anguishing of times.

‘I thought you might just find a very small speck of comfort from this short piece of profoundly wise verse by William Blake and, together with this, I enclose a few ‘Highgrove things’ as a token of immense, affectionate sympathy.’

It is unclear who the Peter is that Charles is addressing, or the identity of ‘dear Liz’.

That visit on October 10 was her first joint public appearance alongside her husband since her cancer treatment ended, marking a major milestone in her gradual journey back to public duties.

Kate delivered a bombshell video message in March revealing she was undergoing chemotherapy after post-operative tests following major abdominal surgery showed she had cancer.

Well-wishes flooded in from around the world and King Charles III – who has also had treatment for cancer following his own diagnosis – was said to be ‘so proud’ of his ‘beloved daughter-in-law’ for her courage in speaking out.

In June, Kate made a welcome brief return to the royal frontline at Trooping the Colour, after saying in an update that she has ‘good days and bad days’, but was ‘not out of the woods yet’.

She said she was entering ‘this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life’.

‘The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family,’ she said.

A documentary focusing on Camilla’s work raising awareness of domestic violence is airing next Monday.

Mr Bush, 23, was found dead on Christmas Eve close to a string of popular boutique shops and independent businesses when it was packed with last minute shoppers.

Following Mr Bush’s death police appealed for potential witnesses to come forward who may have been in the shopping or car park area behind Llandaff Cathedral in Cardiff at the time.

An inquest earlier heard officers from South Wales Police were called to their home in Llandaff, Cardiff, to reports of a stabbing.

Coroners’ officer Beverley Morgan told the hearing that on Christmas Eve last year police were contacted by members of the public who told them that there had been a ‘stabbing incident’.

Multiple officers arrived at the scene and immediately performed CPR after finding Mr Bush injured in Chapel Street car park next to the city’s landmark Llandaff Cathedral.

Paramedics arrived and Williams was taken two miles to the University Hospital of Wales. But he never recovered.

A post-mortem examination carried out by Dr Richard Jones at the University Hospital of Wales recorded a provisional cause of death as multiple stab wounds to the neck and trunk.

William’s family – English teacher father John, 61, mother Elizabeth, 63, sister Catrin and brother Alexander – have paid tribute to the keen rugby player and golfer.

The family, who live in Brecon, South Wales, said: ‘Our beloved Will was taken away from us in such a cruel and indescribable way.

‘Will was such a loyal, funny and caring son, brother and boyfriend.’

William, who was working as a surveyor with a commercial property firm, and Thomas had attended the private Christ College in Brecon.

The pair were regarded as best friends and moved into together in a terraced house jointly owned by Thomas’ grandparents and Welsh rugby great Sir Gareth Edwards.

Thomas, a computer programmer, is the grandson of Sir Stanley Thomas, 82, who was knighted in 2006 for his charity work and services to business.

His father, also called Stanley Thomas, started selling meat pies in Merthyr Tydfil in the Welsh Valleys.

The business, Peter’s Savoury Products, was sold for £75million in 1988.

His family also owned a fifth share of the TBI group, which owned several airports, including Cardiff.

Area coroner for south Wales central Patricia Morgan told the inquest opening on Tuesday that she could not set a date for a full inquest.

She told the hearing that ‘due to the ongoing investigation arising from this matter’ she needed to suspend the inquest until police inquiries are complete..

It’s the Truth: Nacho Figueras Accidentally Spills the Beans on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Separation Rumors

Amid solo appearances, are they really heading for divorce? Are Meghan and Harry on the brink of Splitsville?

Imagine a sunny day in California, where polo player Nacho Figueras, a close friend of Prince Harry, finds himself in the spotlight. During an interview, he drops a hint that sends fans into a frenzy. Could this hint suggest that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are parting ways? This kind of drama is exactly what royal watchers crave, and now, speculation is rampant. Fans are left wondering: is this merely media hype, or is there some truth behind the gossip? Let’s delve into what Nacho Figueras said and explore the ups and downs of Harry and Meghan’s relationship.At first glance, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s love story seemed like a fairy tale. The prince and the actress captured everyone’s attention, blending royalty with Hollywood glamour.

 

However, fairy tales often come with challenges, and this couple has faced them head-on. From their explosive interview with Oprah to their move to the United States, they have consistently made headlines. This section looks at their journey—the highs, the lows, and how fame and scrutiny have affected their relationship. Could the pressures they faced have led to the current separation rumors?

Not many people know that their love story began with a blind date. The chemistry was undeniable from the start, and Harry realized he had found someone special. It was love at first sight, a spark that seemed to defy all odds. But can a whirlwind romance survive under the intense media glare? What about Nacho Figueras’s hint? Did he inadvertently reveal that their fairy tale isn’t as perfect as it seems?

Did stepping back from royal duties spark a new dream or create new dilemmas for Harry and Meghan? Their decision, famously known as “Megxit,” shocked the world. Now, they are building their brand in the U.S., facing both opportunities and backlash. For Harry, California brought relief and freedom, but was Meghan’s Hollywood dream as perfect as they envisioned? Did their differing backgrounds create tension?

The move to California symbolized either an escape or a reinvention. Hollywood shines brightly but can also be harsh. Harry left his royal identity behind while Meghan returned to a world she was familiar with. Their projects, like Netflix documentaries, reflect their passions but come with their own set of challenges. This significant shift raises important questions: Did the intense exposure create cracks in their relationship? Is this the reason why separation rumors continue to circulate?

Now, let’s discuss the rumored accidental reveal. Nacho Figueras, a famous polo player and Harry’s friend, recently spoke about Harry’s solo appearances. People listened closely to his words. During a casual chat, Nacho mentioned Harry’s resilience and dedication, hinting at new adjustments in his life.

Some interpreted this as a simple comment about Harry’s post-royal journey, but royal watchers speculated it might signify a change in Harry and Meghan’s relationship. Was this a well-meaning comment twisted by the media, or was Nacho revealing a genuine shift?

Recent solo appearances by Meghan and Harry have intensified separation rumors. They used to be seen together at events, but now Meghan is attending glamorous galas alone while Harry is spotted at charity functions by himself. Why the shift? Are they simply busy, or is there something deeper at play?

Relationships evolve, and solo appearances don’t always indicate trouble, but given Harry and Meghan’s history of facing royal pressures, public criticisms, and personal sacrifices together, why the change? Are they just taking a breather, or is it a sign of a more complex shift in their marriage?

Love under the spotlight is challenging, and Harry and Meghan are acutely aware of this fact. Every move they make is analyzed. With projects like Archewell demanding their attention, is love alone enough to sustain them? Their story goes beyond romance; it encompasses purpose, resilience, and finding identity beyond royal titles. Balancing personal and professional pressures raises significant questions: Can love survive relentless scrutiny and differing ambitions? Their narrative reflects a modern reality for many couples navigating dreams, careers, and growth under the world’s watchful gaze.

As rumors continue to swirl, Harry and Meghan persist in their work, seemingly unfazed. What’s next for them? Fans hope it’s merely a bump in the road rather than a sign of an impending split. Perhaps they’re adjusting and finding a new rhythm in their lives.

Harry and Meghan’s journey highlights their embrace of change. From royal life to Hollywood, they have not shied away from evolution. Their solo appearances may simply be part of their ongoing transformation. For now, only time will tell what lies ahead for them.

Did Nacho Figueras inadvertently reveal a royal secret? While it’s unlikely, his comments, along with the couple’s solo appearances, have sparked curiosity. Meghan and Harry are redefining what it means to be a royal couple, showing that love and commitment extend beyond fairy tales. As fans, we should respect their journey—relationships are complex, and theirs is no exception. Whether they stay together or part ways, their story is far from over; in fact, it’s just beginning.

Why are we so obsessed with royal relationships? The mystique surrounding Meghan and Harry captivates millions. Their struggles resonate with those who aspire to a fairy tale ending, revealing that wealth and status do not shield one from the challenges of love.

Prince Harry’s story carries significant weight for those who remember Princess Diana. His resilience in the face of overwhelming odds is noteworthy. His marriage to Meghan evokes memories of Diana’s strength and struggles, making their relationship deeply personal. Fans speculate whether history is repeating itself amid the separation rumors.

Megan entered a centuries-old institution upon marrying Harry, immediately facing intense media scrutiny. Every aspect of their lives is dissected, turning private disagreements into international headlines. Living under such scrutiny raises questions: Can any marriage withstand such pressure?

Megan’s recent solo appearances reflect her independence, but they also highlight the importance of mutual support in relationships. Her work and advocacy are vital parts of her identity, predating her marriage to Harry. These solo endeavors might actually strengthen their bond, showing a modern approach to partnership.

The family dynamics in Meghan and Harry’s marriage are intricate. Meghan’s strained relationship with her father, compounded by Harry’s ties to the British royal family, adds a layer of complexity. With public scrutiny surrounding both families, could the pressures contribute to the separation rumors?

As they become a brand, managing their public image can be stressful. Their work focuses on mental health and social justice, but public perception significantly impacts their projects. Balancing parenting, personal aspirations, and public life is no small feat, and it begs the question: does the pressure of their brand affect their relationship?
