On the other hand, fans who have seen his last Snapchat post believe he was calm and with a blonde girl. Was she her girlfriend? But she had left on Oct 14. As per reports, they had both landed in Argentina on September 30 but Kate Cassidy left Argentina on the 14th. So who is the girl in the video? Was this a scheduled snap?
3. Was he on drugs?
The photos that have been leaked from his hotel room after his death show that the television was smashed. Not just that, there was also a burnt aluminum foil, a lighter, and a white powdery substance on a table. Fans speculate if he was on drugs.
Furthermore, as per Reuters, the police said that they were called to the hotel because of an "aggressive man who could be under the effects of drugs and alcohol."

4. Was he depressed?
Some others think that all the information about his death leads to one factor - that he was depressed. Liam Payne had previously shared how skyrocketing to fame at a young age had a deep impact on his mental health. He wasn't able to deal with it and had to rely on alcohol. "Going out and putting that happy smile on my face and singing the songs, honestly, sometimes it was like putting on one of those costumes, going out there and, underneath the costume, people don¡¯t really see what¡¯s going on," he was quoted as saying by The Sun in 2019.

Liam Payne posted several Snapchat posts in the hours leading to his death. In those videos, it looked like he was having a beautiful and fun vacation. One of the videos featured a blonde girl, perhaps his girlfriend Kate.
7. Was he bothered by the hate and criticism he got in the last week?
Some others think the hate, criticism, and negative media reports against him could have triggered this. In 2022, he had claimed that One Direction was created around him in 2010 and that he was always intended to be the frontman. However, it turned out that Niall Horan was the first person to be put in the band. He had also revealed that one of the band members once threw him up against the wall backstage. Liam¡¯s ex Maya Henry recently revealed who he told her it actually was. On TikTok, she revealed, "OK, I see this all the time, everywhere. I¡¯ve heard this insufferable story so many times, and he told me it was Zayn, so."
