Investigators in England are working to see if the Thai owner of Leicester City football club was one of five passengers on board a helicopter that exploded just outside the club's stadium.
Reports suggest Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha boarded the helicopter after watching his team's 1-1 draw against West Ham United on Saturday.
It is understood there were no survivors and authorities are trying to find out the identity of the five passengers on board.
The helicopter crashed and exploded in the car park just meters outside King Power Stadium, but no one on the ground was hurt.
The Thai billionaire bought Leicester City eight years and gained huge support from fans after he provided the backing that saw the bottom-table team win their first ever Premier League title in 2016.
