Liam Payne’s mother cried: “I don’t know who to blame but I won’t let my child die like that, Katie Cassidy, please pay for what you did, I will…”
On October 16 (Argentina time), singer Liam Payne (former member of One Direction ) passed away at the age of 31. His sudden death shocked fans around the world.
Since October 14, Liam Payne’s ex-fiancée Maya Henry has claimed that the singer predicted his death through the podcast The Internet Is Dead. Liam Payne’s lover from 2018-2022 said that since their breakup, the singer has been texting her “I’m not okay. Okay, I’m going to die. I’m not okay at all.” However, Maya Henry believes that this is just a “manipulative tactic” to make her feel guilty when they are not together or do not meet Liam Payne’s requests: “It’s always the same cycle.”

Maya Henry said Liam Payne once called her mother and said, “I’m not going to live much longer.” This made her angry: “I don’t play with death. If you say that, I’ll try to help no matter what you do. I think you’re taking advantage of my family’s kindness.” Maya Henry offered to help Liam Payne return to rehab, but ultimately felt that the singer’s actions were manipulative.
The 23-year-old continued: “He would always say, ‘I’m so sorry for everything I did. I can’t live with it,’ but then he would continue to try to hurt me. I knew his lifestyle, and that one day something bad would happen. So I always thought, ‘Okay, Liam said so, I have to help, otherwise I can’t live with it if something happens to you.’”
However, Liam Payne kept bothering Maya Henry, forcing her to send a cease and desist letter through her lawyer. The singer tried to contact his ex-lover in many ways, causing Maya Henry’s phone to explode. The former One Direction member also bothered Maya Henry’s family and friends. However, Maya Henry was extremely shocked when she heard the news of Liam Payne’s death. She received this information from a reporter’s call.
Just a few days ago, Maya Henry filed a court order to cease contact with Liam Payne, because the singer kept bothering her.
On October 16 (local time), hotel staff in Argentina called 911 to report a man behaving aggressively. According to witnesses, Liam Payne smashed a laptop in the hotel lobby and was taken to his room.

Before his death at the age of 31, Liam Payne had a turbulent life. Sources close to him shared that Liam Payne struggled with depression and serious mental health issues in the last years of his life. “Before his death, Liam had been struggling with negative and harmful behaviors and intentions for a long time. He tried to overcome them and eliminate them from his life. But the ‘demon that resides’ inside him (referring to psychological problems – PV) was much worse than what Liam showed on the outside,” the source said.
Liam also revealed that he went through the darkest period of his life due to drug and alcohol use. At that time, the singer was still a member of One Direction. “During the peak of One Direction, I turned to drugs and alcohol to cope with the pressure and had suicidal thoughts ,” Liam Payne shared. In 2023, the singer announced that he had completed 100 days in a rehab center in Louisiana, and thanked his loved ones for supporting him in the process of regaining sobriety.
