The two bandmates reportedly reunited when Payne traveled to Buenos Aires on October 2 to attend Horan's concert while also vacationing with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy. This brief encounter, unfortunately, became their final reunion.

On October 16, Payne died after falling from the third floor of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires. He remained at the hotel after Cassidy reportedly left the country on October 14.

Earlier that day, witnesses described Payne's behavior at the hotel as erratic. They reported seeing him smash a laptop in the lobby, prompting hotel staff to call emergency services about an aggressive guest.

Shortly after 5 p.m., he fell from his room's balcony. Authorities continue to investigate whether the fall was accidental or intentional and are examining the circumstances leading up to the incident.

Horan's appearance in London has raised concern over his visible grief following Liam Payne's tragic death. As the investigation into his former bandmate's passing continues, many express ongoing support for Horan.
