Liam Payne’s family are searching for answers about his death ahead of the funeral
Liam Payne’s family are still searching for answers about the star’s tragic death as they prepare for his funeral.
RadarOnline.com can reveal mystery still surrounds the One Direction singer’s fatal balcony dive last month.
Police in Argentina have arrested three people in connection with the incident, but Payne’s family are determined to find out how he fell from his hotel room in Buenos Aires.
A source said: “Liam’s family know he was struggling with his own personal demons, but they also want answers about why and how he ended up falling from his hotel balcony.
“And if someone is responsible for contributing to Liam’s death, he wants justice to be served. The family needs and deserves closure.”
Payne was in the Argentine capital with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy in the weeks before he died, aged just 31.
He had also seen fellow One Direction bandmate Niall Horan perform in the city.
Cassidy left the country alone and returned to the couple’s Florida home in the days before Payne died.
She said at the time that their trip to Argentina had been extended by two weeks, but they were only supposed to stay there for five days.
RadarOnline.com revealed Wednesday that Payne allegedly sent his ex-fiancée and her family explicit photos of himself before his drug-induced death.
Maya Henry’s lawyer sent a cease and desist letter to Payne, his lawyers and his agents after he allegedly bombarded her and her family with “unsolicited and disturbing” photos and videos of himself.
The cease and desist letter was sent on October 9, a week before Payne fell to his death.
Henry’s charge sheet alleged that the former boy band member “repeatedly sent unsolicited and disturbing images and videos to Maya Henry and Maya’s family members in the past.”
The alleged images reportedly included “photographs of his genitals and several videos of Mr. Payne performing disturbing sexual acts on himself,” according to Page six.
The cease-and-desist order further accused Payne of “actively communicating” with third parties to disseminate “intimate footage” showing Henry in an “intimate manner.”
Henry’s lawyers alleged that on October 6 – three days before the notice was sent and 10 days before Payne’s death – she received a direct message on Instagram from an unnamed woman who claimed to be close to her ex-boyfriend .
According to the outlet, the DM read: “The main reason I reached out is because he recently blew up my phone over an iCloud email, and when I asked who it was, he started asking me if I wanted naked pictures of you / his current girlfriend.”
In response to Payne’s alleged email, the woman claimed she replied “absolutely not” and wanted to give Henry “a heads up for offering that.”
Payne allegedly sent another message to the woman, writing: “Send me fucking and sucking videos. Have I ever sent you Maya’s? Or any of my exes?”
The “current girlfriend” referred to in the DM Cassidy, who traveled to Argentina with Payne but left the country just days before his death, citing a desire to return home after the trip was extended several days.
Additionally, the woman claimed that Cassidy had previously approached her to question why her number had been blocked on Payne’s phone.
She wrote to Henry: “I stopped answering him for a while and he messaged me through an iCloud account, a few different phone numbers and a Snapchat (account).”
