- Toxicology tests found dangerously high blood alcohol, traces of cocaine metabolites, and an antidepressant in Payne's system prior to his death.
- The net worth of Payne's estate stands near $32.2 million, with Cheryl Tweedy and attorney Richard Bray serving as co-administrators who currently hold restricted powers and are not authorized to allocate the assets.
- Payne's death prompted public mourning and memorials, while legal proceedings to finalize his estate continue amid statements from Tweedy about their shared grief.
