Payne’s death came as a shock to the world, especially after a public battle with health and personal issues. He was in Buenos Aires with Cassidy, but she reportedly returned to the U.S. just days before the tragedy, making the news even more devastating. According to initial reports, Payne’s death was due to a fatal fall from a hotel balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, where he sustained fatal injuries. The autopsy confirmed multiple traumatic injuries as the cause of death​.

Kate Cassidy’s tribute has touched the hearts of fans, as the world mourns the loss of another young star.
