A helicopter belonging to Thai billionaire Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha crashed on Saturday near the stadium of his Premier League club Leicester City.
The helicopter was seen enveloped in flames in mobile phone images from the scene and an AFP photographer later saw smoke coming from the wreckage.
It crashed shortly after take-off following Saturday's game against West Ham in a car park close to King Power Stadium - a scene of jubilation two years ago when underdogs Leicester City won the Premier League in a remarkable footballing feat.
"Emergency services are currently at the King Power Stadium where an aircraft came down in a car park behind the ground," police said.
Thai businessman Vichai, who has poured millions into the club, often takes off from the pitch in his helicopter when he attends a Leicester home game but it is not known whether he was in the aircraft when it crashed.
