An inquest jury has concluded that a helicopter crash in which five people were killed at Leicester City’s King Power Stadium was an accident.
Foxes chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, fellow passengers Kaveporn Punpare and Nusara Suknamai, pilot Eric Swaffer and Mr Swaffer’s partner Izabela Roza Lechowicz all died in the crash on 27 October 2018.
On Tuesday, the jury returned a conclusion that the deaths were an accident to coroner Prof Catherine Mason.
Jurors found the helicopter “had all its appropriate airworthiness and maintenance certificates”, adding that Mr Swaffer had taken “all the appropriate actions available to him to try to regain control of the helicopter”.
