His medical cause of death was confirmed by Dr Roberto Victor Cohen as ‘polytrauma’ – meaning multiple traumatic injuries.

A hearing, which Buckinghamshire Coroner’s Court said was held on December 17, was told it may take “some time” to ascertain how the 31-year-old died.

Five people have been charged over Payne’s death after he fell from a third-floor balcony of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires.

The hotel’s manager, a receptionist and a friend of Payne have been charged with manslaughter, Argentina’s National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office previously said in a statement.

They are reported to be hotel manager Gilda Martin, receptionist Esteban Grassi and Payne’s friend Roger Nores.

Two others, hotel employee Ezequiel Pereyra and waiter Braian Paiz, have been charged with supplying cocaine.

Paiz has been arrested by cops are the judge gave him 24 hours to hand himself in – with the Argentinian being found at home.

Pereyra handed himself into police after he initially went on the run and dodged police turning up to his house to arrest him.

The inquest into Payne’s death in the UK has been adjourned until a pre-inquest review on November 6, the coroner’s court said.
