A jury inquest has determined that the tragic helicopter crash outside Leicester City's King Power Stadium was a result of an accident, according to reports. The crash, which occurred in October last year, claimed the lives of five people, including the club's owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.
The inquest heard that the helicopter had taken off from the stadium's pitch after Leicester City's 1-1 draw with West Ham United, before crashing shortly after. Investigators found that a pin had become disconnected in the tail rotor control system, causing the helicopter to spiral out of control.
Despite the devastating outcome, the jury ruled that the accident was not the result of negligence on the part of the pilot or maintenance staff. The findings bring some closure to the families of the victims, who have been mourning the loss of their loved ones since the tragic event.
Leicester City Football Club continues to honor the memory of Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and the others who lost their lives in the crash, as fans and players alike pay tribute to their legacy. The club's resilience in the face of tragedy is a testament to the strength and unity of the Leicester City community.
