Leicester City have confirmed club owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was among five people who died in a helicopter crash outside the King Power Stadium

Supporters were laying tributes to the Thai businessman on Sunday morning in a solemn atmosphere outside the King Power Stadium as they awaited further information on exactly what happened.

Leicestershire police tweeted: "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."

Meanwhile, details have emerged from eye witnesses on what caused the helicopter crash, with engine failure sounding like a posible cause for the incident.

"The engine stopped and I turned round and it made a bit of a whirring noise, like a grinding noise," freelance photographer Ryan Brown told BBC Radio Leicester.

"The helicopter just went silent, I turned round and it was just spinning, out of control. And then there was a big bang and then [a] big fireball."
