Leicester: Four helicopter crash victims ‘died from smoke inhalation’

Leicester: Four people tragically lost their lives in a helicopter crash near the King Power Stadium. The inquest revealed that if the helicopter hadn’t caught fire, they might have survived.

Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, the club chairman, was among the victims, along with his guests and the pilot. The pathologist shared that one person died from impact injuries, while the others quickly succumbed to smoke inhalation after the fire broke out.

The inquest is looking into the details of the crash, which happened shortly after a match. Eyewitnesses, including police officers, described the chaos as they rushed to help. Unfortunately, the helicopter landed on its side, making it hard to reach anyone inside.

A report indicated that mechanical failures led to the crash, and the pilot had little chance to save the passengers. The inquest is ongoing, and it’s a tough time for everyone affected by this tragedy.
