The British artist had traveled to the South American country with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, to attend the concert of his former bandmate, Niall Horan. As Liam himself showed on his social media, during his last days of life he was seen very happy and confessed to feeling "happy" to have made this trip to "enjoy some leisure time." However, for quite some time before his death, the singer had been going through a complex situation after the accusations of his ex-partner, Maya Henry.

What was the controversy Liam Payne was involved in with his ex-fiancée, Maya Henry?
Liam and Maya had an on-again, off-again relationship for three years. The former One Direction member and the Texan model were first photographed together in August 2018, but didn't make their relationship official until September of the following year. Payne and Henry got engaged in 2020, although he announced his separation from British singer Cheryl Tweedy, mother of his only child, Bear Grey, in June 2021. In October of that same year, they gave it another try before finally breaking up in 2022.
Just three days ago, on Monday, the 23-year-old influencer had referred to her tumultuous relationship with the artist, accusing him of harassment. In a statement to The Sun, a spokesperson said: "Last week, Maya Henry issued a cease and desist order to Liam Payne after the emergence of new and concerning information."
On her TikTok account, Maya confessed: "Since we broke up, he blows up my phone. He always comes from different phone numbers, so I never know where it's going to come from (...) He creates new iCloud accounts to send me messages via iMessage. It's always a new iCloud account. Every time I see a new one on my phone, I think, 'Oh, here we go again'."
A source close to the situation told People magazine that Payne was "extremely overwhelmed by all the legal issues" with Henry.
The model, who decided to write her own novel titled "Looking Forward" after allegedly suffering abuse from Payne, placed on the cover of her book that it is "inspired by real events." As she has been promoting it in various media outlets in recent days, it came to light that he forced her to have an abortion, reigniting the wave of backlash against the former 1D member.
The death of Liam Payne has left Maya in a state of shock, according to her representative in a conversation with the British media outlet Daily Mail.
