Terrible to hear the owners daughter was on board.
Thank god it looks like no one on the ground was hit

Leicester City owner’s helicopter crashes in car park | Five deaths including Chairman

Apparently his daughter was not on board. Hope that's true.
This is depressing. Terrible news.
Tragic. He's done so much for Leicester as a football club and by all accounts he's helped the wider Leicester area in a variety of different projects.
Will be interesting to see when Leicester are next required to play. If the worst is confirmed you'd imagine the players wouldn't be in the right mind frame to play for a while.
Just an awful situation all round. Thoughts are with everyone affected.

They are at home against Southampton in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, no way that should be played.
we've already asked to postpone it
Understandable under the circumstances.
Can't see any reason at all why that wouldn't be granted.
Apparently his daughter wasn't on board....small mercies but as a father of two daughters I'd happily die before either of them, the thought of being in that situation with my daughter pains me more than anything.
In any case, Truly tragic. What Leicester achieved when they won the league was miraculous and will never be forgotten. A fitting legacy to a seemingly great man. Rip.

Surely in this case though they knew the 5 people that got on the helicopter. If there are 5 bodies isn’t that enough evidence?
What is really frustrating is some idiot has made up a rumour of Claude Puel being on the helicopter. How low can you be to make something up like that?
Leicester will always have a special place in my heart as it was my first foreign experience. I walked past welford road and walkers stadium, as it used to be called, every day when I was there.
Knew a few die hard fans who were supporting them through thick and thin. Texted one of them yesterday. It’s such a sad event for the whole city. Thoughts are with everyone.

Nice one bud, I signed up last night too for the same reason, also posted that they all should ignore red issue and not give them the attention.
Not to be grim, but since there’s been an explosion it may be difficult to identitify the remains and obviously family members need to be informed first before anything is made public.
I did see some names from the Cafe posting there. Also from many other teams’ fans. The members really do appreciate this huge outpouring of support.
Sick of the rumours going around.
Why people feel the need to make assumptions of who was/wasn’t on the helicopter is beyond me.
I guess everyone just wants to be first to break the news, it’s a bit sick really.

Family members may be requested to come and confirm it is indeed them also.

Yes not sure on the source for that rumour. I saw it on a twitter feed from leicester fan.
The newspapers can be source sometimes. They will bombard potential people with messages, if they don't get a positive answer they then start a rumour.
We saw the same thing with Arena bomb. Puel's lack of online presence may have helped spark the rumours
Highly doubt that, not much to identify them on, they use DNA
Such a depressing story .
.Was that not just the stand in BBC news presenter saying the wrong word that sparked that off?
The daughter rumour definitely seems more a case of idiots trying to make a terrible situation sound even more tragic to get clicks.
Yes with fire victims they will use anything they can rather than visual ID. They would definitely try and avoid putting family through that.
People need to understand that telling someone a loved one has died under such circumstances is a very tricky thing.
Can you imagine if you told the wrong person? The impact of such news can send the person into shock and even cause heart attacks or collapses.
If a relative sees "××××× death confirmed" and they have not been informed the consequences could be horrendous.
The fact that the owners name is now being confirmed implies that all of his immediate family have been made aware.
Whilst it is frustrating waiting for info the authorities will be wanting to ensure they do not make any mistakes.
Doesnt he have two daughters, so far one has been ruled out of being on board
LCFC and the Police will know exactly who was on board, BT probably do too, but LCFC's CCTV will have shown exactly who
The father of an old boyfriend died in a firy car crash when the gas can he had in his boot exploded. He heard about it on the radio news first. Poor guy was in shock.
Just another point to consider, I’m not 100% certain what Thai nationals culture and usual way of dealing with sudden deaths is, however there may be rituals/an order of events involved that the authorities would have to adhere to.
Thundercunts. Like you said, them using an air accident in this manner is disgusting.
Red Issue can feck off. Caf official twitter should call out Red Issue publicly on this. Shame them for being insensitive, especially when it is an air crash
eboue of Manchester United fan forums twitter accounts.
Is there a specific reason why they haven't released the information about the people on board? Seems strange to me.
Families not informed yet most likely.
RIP to everyone on board. Terrible incident.
I imagine identification of bodies in these circumstances can take a long time with all the tests the cornoner would have to do.
See my earlier post, pretty likely in this scenario
Or just ignore it. The internet needs to stop giving air to idiots because it's what they want.
Terrible tragedy. Thoughts are with those affected.
I can't help but wonder why so many are hung up on the release of names or an official announcement. We should all respect the privacy and leave it at that. Those that need to know most likely already know.

Media milking the cow. They could have easily released all the info by now, even if unofficial, but that's not good for business. Better to have all the worried people clicking and clicking links in hope for any info.
Stupidest fecking thing i've read in a long time.
What on earth? I'm shocked that someone actually thinks like this.
This is almost certainly not the case.
