Society: Liam Payne’s girlfriend: Work on accepting death

The girlfriend of the British pop star Liam Payne, who died last year, speaks of difficulties to process the death of her partner. She still struggles to “accept the fact that he is no longer there,” said US influencer Kate Cassidy in tears in a talk show by the British broadcaster ITV.

“It is difficult for me to speak of him in the past of the past, and if I do it, it almost hurts a little more because it is just more official,” she said. Sometimes it was difficult for her to get up in the morning, the 25-year-old confessed.

Cassidy supports initiative for mental health

Payne had fallen and died in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires from the balcony of a hotel room in the Argentine capital. He was only 31 years old. His death triggered great grief from his fans around the world.

Cassidy, who had been with him just a few days before Payne’s death, supports an initiative by the ITV broadcaster for mental health. Payne dealt with his difficulties very openly, she said. She believes that he would also want her to stand up for a greater openness, according to the influencer.

Alcohol and cocaine in large quantities

Payne’s death is considered a tragic accident under the influence of drugs. According to the public prosecutor, forensic doctors consider it likely that he passed out while trying to climb over the balcony railing. An autopsy showed alcohol and cocaine in large quantities.

At the end of February, an indictment against a confidante of the pop star and two leading employees of a hotel had been dropped. The court ruled that they had no special responsibility for Payne and were therefore not to be subject to. Two other suspects are still in custody. The two young men are accused of having provided Payne with cocaine. They face up to 15 years in prison.
