Leicester City soccer club owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, a Thai tycoon, was among five people who were in a helicopter which crashed in a ball of flames after a Premier League match on Saturday.
Also on board were one of Vichai’s two daughters, two pilots and a fifth person whose identity was not immediately known. There were no confirmed details on whether anyone on board survived.
In Thailand, officials at King Power said they could not yet comment on the crash or say whether Vichai had been aboard when it spiralled out of control and crashed around an hour after the game. The club has not commented on that publicly.
The helicopter crashed just yards from the pitch in the club’s car park. Team manager Claude Puel was not on the helicopter.
