- Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha understood to have been in helicopter
- Crash occurred after Premier League game at King Power Stadium
Messages of support continue to flood in at the King Power Stadium. Fans from as far afield as Italian club Internazionale have laid tributes outside the ground with Leicester City’s owner, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, understood to have been on board. A Wolverhampton Wanderers fan laid down his club’s shirt which read: “Divided by colours, united by grief.” Other supporters laid down shirts and scarves from their clubs to pay their respects – including Liverpool and Manchester United.
A source briefed by Leicester City has told the Guardian that Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was seen boarding the helicopter last night, corroborating the BBC’s reporting from a source close to the family. The source adds that at least five people were believed to be on board. The news agency Reuters reported earlier this morning that one of Vichai’s two daughters, two pilots and a fifth person whose identity was not immediately known, were also on board.
