Part 3/5:

Barela emphasized that the footage which has not been publicly released shows Payne fainting before he fell. She stated, “If he had been beside his bed, he would have fallen on his bed. It’s not that he jumped deliberately.” This assertion suggests that his fall may have been an unfortunate accident rather than a deliberate act, as many in the public may have speculated.

Preliminary Report from Authorities

Following the incident, the hotel staff discovered Payne’s body in the courtyard just moments after he fell. Local authorities conducted an investigation and presented a preliminary report indicating that the position of his body and the nature of his injuries imply he did not take any reflex actions to protect himself during the fall.
