What other aspects have been included in the investigation?

As noted by the prosecutor’s office in its Nov. 7 release, “exhaustive and meticulous actions and measures were taken to clarify the circumstances” surrounding Payne’s death.

These actions included, as the release continued, “several dozen testimonies” from hotel employees, family members, friends, medical professionals, biochemists, and psychiatrists. Additionally, the release stated that a “detailed analysis of more than 800 hours of video footage from various security cameras in the hotel and others on public roads” was conducted.

Moreover, “the forensic extraction of the contents of the deceased musician’s cell phone was also carried out,” according to the release. “From this, his calls, messages, chats on messaging applications and social networks were analyzed.”

Furthermore, the release mentioned that “several gigabytes of data extracted from other cell phones were obtained and examined, such as that of the hotel reception and those of witnesses who voluntarily offered them to corroborate their statements.”

Other information reviewed included “a record of the guests and orders at the hotel bar/restaurant” to determine who visited Payne as well as what they consumed.

In addition, the prosecutor’s office indicated that “nine raids were requested at homes” in Buenos Aires.

However, the Nov. 7 release emphasized that “the investigation must continue, since, among other procedures, the unlocking of the victim’s personal netbook – which is broken – and other devices seized in the investigation are still in progress.”
