On October 16, a tragic incident occurred at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel, where "Strip That Down" singer experienced severe injuries from a fall of approximately 45 feet. An autopsy revealed that the Brit sustained traumatic injuries leading to both internal and external bleeding.

Following a detailed analysis, the toxicology findings also revealed the presence of benzodiazepine, crack cocaine, regular cocaine, and a blend of substances referred to as "pink cocaine" in Payne's system when he passed away.

At first, local authorities suggested that Payne had leaped from the balcony in his room, but after a thorough investigation, suicide was ruled out as the cause, with the tragic incident being linked to the influence of drugs.

Following the tragic death of Payne, legal actions have been taken against three individuals involved in the incident. Among them is a hotel employee who has been accused of facilitating the delivery of drugs, possibly concealed within a soap box.

News of Payne's funeral came after a disturbing trend on TikTok started where malicious people are circulating fake videos depicting it. Concerned fans are urging others to be vigilant and not fall prey to these insensitive and misleading clips.

Critics have criticized these attention-grabbing videos as "disrespectful," dubbing the TikTok creators "sick."
