According to some reports, his fragile mental state was partly triggered by the departure of his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, just days before the incident. At that time, Liam was in Buenos Aires, and Kate had to leave for personal reasons. In a recent interview with The Sun, she spoke for the first time about why she left her boyfriend behind.

Kate clarified that her departure was not caused by an argument, and spending time apart was common in their relationship. She had to return to Florida to take care of their shared pet. “We had a dog that needed attention. I never thought things would turn out this way. Obviously, if I had known, if I could have seen the future, I would have never left Argentina,” she explained.

She also admitted that she was relieved to learn about Liam’s death from a close friend rather than through social media. “At first, I didn’t believe it. I thought it was just rumors or someone making up a story for attention. But then, I had this terrible feeling. I asked myself: ‘Why would someone make this up? Is this really true?’” Kate shared, recalling the devastating moment.

This heartbreaking incident has left fans mourning the loss of a music icon, with many still struggling to come to terms with his untimely death.
