Payne passed away in October 2024, after tragically falling from a third-floor balcony in Buenos Aires.
An autopsy report revealed that he suffered multiple traumatic injuries as a result of the fall, with his cause of death attributed to multiple traumatic injuries to their body.
Since then, five people have been charged in connection to his death, including hotel staff.
Many fans expressed their support on the Instagram post, one commenting the plaque is “beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.”
Another said, “Thank you for this beautiful tribute, we will always remember Liam Payne for being a nice person and his wonderful music with his colleagues.”
The plaque is expected to gain fan attraction, as another mentioned, “I feel a connection with Liam and this place now, I need to visit it.”
