Payne died on October 16 after falling from a third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. Following his death, three individuals have been charged: a person close to him, a hotel employee, and a suspected drug dealer.

Argentinian prosecutors accused them of “abandonment of a person followed by death” and “supply and facilitation of narcotics.”

Authorities reported that Payne was under the influence of drugs and alcohol at the time, and a post-mortem examination confirmed that he died instantly from multiple traumas and haemorrhaging.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office in Argentina continues to investigate, officially labelling the case as an “inconclusive death.”
