Liam Payne’s untimely death has left his family, friends, and fans devastated. The singer who had been with One Direction, tragically died on October 16 at 31 after falling from the third-floor balcony of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. His girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, who left Argentina just days before the incident, is now getting ready to help with the ongoing investigation into his death.
Recently, a close friend of Cassidy confirmed that she is likely to cooperate with the authorities as they probe the circumstances surrounding Payne’s tragic fall.
Kate Cassidy’s Emotional Post
Amid the holiday season, Cassidy has openly shared her emotional struggles through social media. In a heartfelt post in Instagram stories, she narrated how the season of celebration also brings sadness to many, including herself. “As the holidays are here, I realize it is a time for happiness and joy, but it is also a time of sadness and grief for so many,” she wrote while offering empathy to others in the same situation during the festive period.
The influencer took her pity further, stating, “Sending all my love to those carrying grief this holiday. I hope the seasons bring you comfort and peace. Wishing everyone a love-filled and healthy holiday season this year.”
Investigators Seek Cassidy’s Help In Case
As the investigation into Payne’s death continues to unfurl, sources disclose that the singer was operating on multiple drugs at the time of his fatal accident. Although Cassidy had long left the U.S. by the time the accident took place, police reached out to her for information she might have that would assist them in their quest. A close friend to Cassidy spoke to the New York Post and confirmed that she intends to fully cooperate with the authorities.
“She’s going to do everything she can to help,” the friend said. “She wants the right people brought to justice, and if that means answering the questions they have for her, she’s going to do it,” the friend stated. “Of course, there’s no possible reason for her not to cooperate. She tried long enough to get him straightened out and is tormented by what happened in her life. Anyone involved in providing drugs to Liam should be prosecuted.”
On November 2024, Kate Cassidy was among those who accompanied the family of Payne to a private funeral service with his former bandmates of One Direction to pay tribute to the deceased singer. The ceremony took place at St. Mary’s Church in Amersham, UK, where Payne’s coffin, dressed in white roses and floral tributes, was carried by a horse-drawn carriage.
All other remaining bandmates, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson, attended the grieving service to pay tribute to their late friend. On the dark blue casket were floral tributes where the words “Son” and “Daddy” had been written to exemplify the deep loss people feel for him.
