• Three individuals, including Payne’s friend Roger Nores and two hotel employees, have been charged with manslaughter for alleged negligence in handling his vulnerable condition.
• Two others, a hotel worker and a waiter, face charges of supplying cocaine to Payne on multiple occasions in the days leading up to his death.
• Judge Laura Bruniard ruled Payne attempted to exit his hotel room via the balcony in a severely intoxicated state, rejecting earlier claims that he lost balance accidentally.
