Liam Payne's girlfriend reportedly issues ultimatum before his tragic death in Argentina

Liam Payne, the former One Direction singer, died on October 16 after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina. His girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, reportedly gave him an ultimatum to stop using drugs or lose her, shortly before his death. Kate returned to Los Angeles alone after their holiday, feeling overwhelmed. Liam chose to stay in Argentina, where he later died. A friend described Kate's situation as a "hostage situation," as she struggled with concerns about Liam's drug use. Before his death, Liam and Kate had plans to marry, as indicated in a note he wrote expressing their future together. They had recently adopted a dog together, highlighting their commitment to building a life as a couple.
