Liam Payne’s girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, is reportedly facing additional emotional distress after what are believed to be the final photos of the singer alive were published. The former One Direction member, aged 31, tragically died on October 16 after falling from a third-floor balcony of his hotel room in Argentina. Following his funeral on November 20, disturbing CCTV footage surfaced, showing Liam being carried through the CasaSur Palermo Hotel just before his death. The footage reportedly shows him “convulsing” in the hotel lobby in the hour prior to the fatal incident.

A close friend of Kate’s told Page Six that the images have had a profound impact on her, saying, “They show he could have been saved, he could have been helped. It’s devastating—and infuriating. Just when it seems like the pain for Kate couldn’t get worse, it does.” Kate, 25, had been with Liam until two days before his passing when she returned to the U.S. from their extended vacation in Argentina.

The CCTV footage published by the *Daily Mail* shows two hotel guests passing by while three men—two in suits and one with a backpack—carry Liam. They were reportedly hotel staff, though the CasaSur Hotel has not commented on the footage. The video shows Liam being brought back to his third-floor room around 4:54 PM local time, though it is unclear why no medical assistance was sought in the lobby.

Liam’s funeral, held at St Mary’s Church in Amersham, marked his legacy as a generous philanthropist. He was known for donating significant sums of his wealth to children’s charities. In his memory, his family has directed all donations made in his name to the Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital to help fund a new cancer unit at its renowned London facility.
