"My Premier League colleagues and I are devastated to learn that Leicester City FC Chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and four other people lost their lives in the helicopter crash outside King Power Stadium last night," said Richard Scudamore, executive chairman of the Premier League, on 29/10/2018.

"Our deepest condolences and heartfelt thoughts go to the Srivaddhanaprabha family and all the relatives and friends of those involved in this tragic accident. Vichai was a gentleman who graced the game with his civility and charm and we will miss him enormously. His impact on Leicester - the football club and city - will be remembered for ever," added Scudamore.

The Leicester City chairman's helicopter, took off from the centre of the pitch at the King Power Stadium, about an hour after the end of the Leicester City FC - West Ham (1-1, Matchday 10 of the Premier League) game, on Saturday 27/10/2018, between 19:30 and 19:45 local time (20:30 and 20:45 CET). The helicopter crashed shortly after in a car park near the stadium and immediately ignited. There were no survivors.
