"Our role was to head there quickly, give medical attention and try to resuscitate him, but his injuries were incompatible with life," Buenos Aires medical services director Alberto Crescenti explained to a publication. "Based on what the team saw, there was apparently a cranial fracture and extremely serious injuries that led to his immediate death."

The dad-of-one suffered “internal and external” hemorrhaging and a fractured skull.

Photos from his messy hotel room showed drug paraphernalia scattered around, though a toxicology report is still pending.

Payne has struggled with his mental health and addiction over the years, admitting his troubles heightened during his days with the boyband, which lasted from 2010 to 2016.
