Liam Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy revealed she and the One Direction singer, who tragically passed away on October 16 after falling from a third-floor balcony in Buenos Aires, weren’t supposed to be in Argentina for more than five days.

Two days before the singer’s death, Cassidy, 25, traveled back to her home in Miami, Florida, leaving Payne in Argentina. According to her, the couple was originally only planning to be in the country for five days, but their trip ended up being extended.

In the video blog of her trip back to the US, Cassidy said: “I was so ready to leave. Honestly, love South America but I hate staying in one place for too long. And we were supposed to be there for, like, five days. It turned into two weeks and I was just like ‘I need to go home.’”

Payne died suddenly at the age of 31 after the fall at a hotel in Buenos Aires’ Palermo neighborhood. The circumstances surrounding Payne’s death are still being investigated by local authorities as they prepare to conduct a full autopsy.

El Sistema de Atención Médica de Emergencias (SAME) reported that a 911 call was made from Payne’s hotel just before the accident, “reporting an aggressive man who could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.”
