The singer was on an extended trip to Buenos Aires when he tragically died after falling from the balcony of his hotel room on the third floor of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel. He was in a state of “semi-or total unconsciousness,” local authorities said after an investigation. Toxicology tests confirmed Payne was under the influence of drugs in the lead-up to the incident.
Three people were arrested for “illegal conduct” in connection with Payne’s death. They were charged with crimes including abandonment of a person followed by death, supplying and facilitating narcotics.
