Latest developments in the Payne case

Payne was found dead on Oct. 16 after falling from the third floor of the Hotel Casa Sur, in the Argentine capital, as AFP recalls. He died due to "multiple trauma" and "internal and external bleeding" after the fall from the hotel balcony, according to the autopsy.

He consumed alcohol, cocaine and an antidepressant before his death. The late singer had spoken publicly about his struggles with substance abuse and coping with fame from a young age. In 2013, he admitted that he had been admitted to a rehabilitation center for suffering from alcoholism.

An Argentine court charged three people in the case. One of them was Payne's daily companion during his stay in Buenos Aires, who is charged with abandonment of person followed by death and supply of narcotics. The second defendant is an employee of the hotel, and the third is another supplier of narcotics.
