The English Premier League has a tough week after the Leicester City Chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha dies in a helicopter crash outside of the King Power Stadium, Glenn Hoddle suffers a heart attack when covering the league for BT Sport, and an elderly Brighton fan collapses at the AMEX before passing away in a hospital. 

It was one of the darkest days in Premier League history as Leicester Chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was one of five people confirmed dead after a helicopter crashed shortly after taking off from the King Power pitch on Saturday.

None of the five people on board survived, including the pilot Eric Swaffer, another pilot, Izabela Lechowicz, and two members of Srivaddhanaprabha’s staff Nursara Suknamai and Kaveporn Punpare.

Srivaddhanaprabha bought the club in 2010 and went on to lead the most remarkable sporting fairytales in recent memory when the club won the 2015/16 English Premier League (EPL).
