Leicester city football club confirms owner died in a helicopter crash on Saturday


Leicester City team owner was aboard the helicopter that crashed after the premier league match between Leicester and West Ham on Saturday, 27th October 2018.


The Leicester City club had just played to a 1-1 draw against Premier League rival West Ham United at King Power Stadium in Leicester, England, about 100 miles northwest of London.

Vichai, 60, and four other people were killed when the helicopter they were traveling in crashed near a car park just outside of the stadium shortly after taking off from the pitch.

On Sunday evening, Leicester City confirmed the loss of its owner.

“It is with the deepest regret and a collective broken heart that we confirm our chairman, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, was among those to have tragically lost their lives on Saturday evening when a helicopter carrying him and four other people crashed outside King Power Stadium,” the club said in a statement.


Srivaddhanaprabha, (owner of LCFC) a native of Thailand, purchased the club in 2010 and saw it win the EPL title in 2016.
The achievement drew global attention because the club, nicknamed the Foxes, were considered a 5,000-to-1 shot to win the championship before the season started.

The billionaire is known for owning King Power, a duty-free retailer based in Thailand, where he is considered the fifth-richest person.


Eyewitnesses reported seeing the helicopter plummet to the parking lot soon after takeoff, the AP report said, and the news agency posted a photo showing a fireball outside the stadium.

A BT Sport broadcaster Jake Humphrey said on live broadcast, as an eyewitness that “It suddenly got very serious.” “The helicopter has crashed. It has crashed in the club carpark ... we heard a commotion.”


After the crash, several Leicester City players and staff members were seen in tears as the fire continued
It is a very sad day for the city of Leicester, club, fans and family of the deceased.

The efficiency of Mossad will be replicated in Biafran security. The Nigerian Army in contempt of court came to my house to kill me. The Nigerian Army killed my cousin Adaku and 28 others at my home on September 14th, 2017. Ohaneze Ndigbo, Governors of the east, and the government of Nigeria pressured me to cancel the boycott of Anambra election and I said no. I will ventilate only in a competent court of law any where in the world (and not in a kangaroo court) the circumstances surrounding my enforce disappearance [the invasion of my home]. #SNNBIAFRA
