Kate Cassidy made her first public appearance since the death of her boyfriend, Liam Payne.
The 25-year-old actress, who had shared her grief on social media, was spotted in Florida over the weekend.
She was seen picking up dog food for the pet she and Payne had together, walking along the street with two friends, carrying bags under her arms.
Tragic Turn of Events in Buenos Aires
Cassidy had been with Payne in Argentina earlier this month.
They had flown there to attend a concert by Payne’s former One Direction bandmate, Niall Horan, on October 4.
However, Cassidy returned to the U.S. on October 14, just two days before Payne’s fatal fall from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. The 31-year-old singer fell 45 feet to his death on October 16.
Breaking her silence on Friday, Cassidy took to Instagram to pay tribute to Payne, expressing her heartbreak and thanking fans for their support.
She wrote, “I have been at a complete loss. Nothing about the past few days has felt real… Liam, my angel. You are everything.”
Ongoing Investigation into Payne’s Death
Investigators in Argentina are still looking into the circumstances surrounding Payne’s death, which has been ruled “inconclusive” for now.
The post-mortem report revealed multiple injuries from the fall, and further toxicological tests have been ordered to determine if drugs or alcohol were involved. These results are expected within the next two weeks.
Meanwhile, Payne’s father, Geoff, traveled to Buenos Aires to formally identify his son’s body and to arrange for its return to the UK.
The family is planning a funeral for Payne in November, once legal formalities are completed.
Allegations of Drug Involvement
Allegations have emerged that Payne may have been supplied with drugs by hotel staff in the days before his death.
Two employees at the hotel where Payne was staying are under investigation for allegedly smuggling drugs into his room.
Police discovered a Dove soap box containing various substances, suspected to be cocaine and crack cocaine.
These substances have been sent for analysis.
Hotel management reportedly dismissed one of the employees involved after they were unable to explain suspicious activities, such as a taxi being sent to a worker’s home.
Both employees have been questioned, and a close friend of Payne revealed that while he had been trying to stay clean, he was offered drugs and alcohol soon after arriving at the hotel.
As investigations continue, Payne’s loved ones are left to mourn his loss while awaiting answers about the tragedy.
