Controversies Surrounding Payne's Death
Media reports have indicated that a close friend of Payne, Rogelio 'Roger' Nores, will not be present at the funeral.

Investigative reports suggest that Payne was not fully conscious at the time of his fall and had experienced polydrug-use involving alcohol and other narcotics in the days leading up to the incident.
