    Condolences to the Leicester City famlly on these terrible events. I speak for all Spurs fans. Your owner was one of the best and at least will always be remembered for bringing you the EPL title. A fitting memorial.

    From Leicestershire Police

    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.

    To many rumours coming out some started by sky and the BBC, I can understand the delay in information but hope something official comes out soon

    Sky and bbc are the 2 biggest broadcaster in this country. They shouldnt be playing chinese whispers. They should only deal with facts and not hiding behind “sources”

    Really seems like no news is bad news in this case. It will be devastating to the club and the city if Vichai has not made it. Best owner/chairman in football. Puts football truly into perspective. It’s heart warming to see the support of other fans as well as the support of our own down at the KP. Show Top and the family we are all with him...

    The tricky thing is with the annoucement its going to be massive news here and in Thailand. They may ever declare national mourning as Vichai had his 2nd name bestowed on him by the King of Thailand

    It may be the families wishes as to why it hasnt been annouced yet

    That wouldn't be fair to other victims relatives, it might be a problem with identification and contacting N O K ect

    I don’t disagree but you confirmed the point that it is most likely bad news. What I meant is if there was good news it would more likely have come out. There’s plenty of reasons for bad news not having come out yet

    As a Canadian supporter of Bristol City I want to pass on my condolences to all the people involved in this tragedy. I have always had a soft spot for Leicester City ever since our Chris Garland joined you many years ago. In these difficult times it gives us all a chance to reflect on the most important things in life and to channel our thoughts to all those suffering today. So sad on every level. R.I.P.

    Your owner was a God amongst football chairmen, every club in the country would have welcomed him with open arms, he did a spectacular job at Leicester and you have my sincere condolences, even though there appears to be a lack of concrete information as yet. Where there's hope... <peacedove> <rose>

    It’s been confirmed Vichai was indeed in the helicopter. We all dreaded this news but now it’s real. Such a shame that someone who displayed such generosity, humility and compassion is taken in such a way. Only the good die young and his legacy will outlast us all.
