Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha's helicopter crashed down in the car park outside of the King Power Stadium after the club's 1-1 draw with West Ham on Saturday night
Srivaddhanaprabha did board the helicopter before it took off from the pitch at around 8
30pm and reports from Reuters say he was on board when it came down. Four people, including two pilots, were also on board with the Foxes owner but their exact identities are not yet known
Sources claim one of the other passengers was a daughter of the Thai billionaire
Police say they are working to provide the public with a definitive update and thanked them for their patience
From their official Twitter account, Leicestershire police said: "We understand that many people are waiting for an update about the helicopter crash at King Power Stadium last night
"We are working with a number of other agencies to get an update out to the public and press
Thank you for your patience and all your messages of support." Eyewitnesses say they saw the chopper spiral out of control before hitting the ground and bursting into flames
Speaking on Sky Sports News, distraught Foxes fan John Butcher explained how the incident unfolded, while paying tribute to Srivaddhanaprabha, who led Leicester to the Premier League title in 2015-16
He said: "We saw the ambulances and fire engines come round - we were just facing the ground in the bar across the road
"As we came out, we saw my nephew who saw the helicopter lose control, start spinning and hit the ground within a second and just exploded
We've all seen the flames, the smoke. "Our hearts are out to whoever was in it. "The owners mean everything to this football club, they've put everything into it
"They've made us champions. You can't ask for more from your owners. They won the league for us, you couldn't ask for more here
"Whoever is on that helicopter, we just hope, and our hearts are out for them, but it doesn't look good
