Who is Voramas Srivaddhanaprabha? Leicester City owner’s daughter – was she in the helicopter crash which killed five?

LEICESTER owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha's helicopter crashed outside the King Power Stadium on Saturday evening, leading to an outpouring of grief across the East Midlands city.

The Foxes owner died at the scene, along with the other four people on board who have not been named - but one of them was initially thought to be daughter Voramas.

Who is Voramas Srivaddhanaprabha?

Born in Thailand, Voramas is the daughter of Leicester owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

She has three other siblings - Apichet, Aroonroong and Leicester vice-chairman Aiyawatt.

Voramas graduated from textile and fashion in London but ultimately joined the family business overseeing marketing strategy and corporate communications.

She is now the Chief Commercial Officer and Executive Vice President of Marketing at the company her father founded and Leicester sponsors - King Power.

Voramas was once asked about leadership and is quoted as saying: "A good leader should have great listening skills, and be able to capture the main ideas.

"They also need to listen to what the staff and colleagues have to say – be alert to what is being said, look and observe.

"Listen to what is not being said as well, as body language may give a clue on things that may be left unsaid."

Was she on board the Leicester owner's helicopter?

Early on Sunday, Voramas was believed to be one of five passengers who died on Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha's helicopter following the fatal crash.

But it has now been confirmed that she was NOT on board the chopper when it came down.

The known passengers are father Vichai and two pilots.

One other female and one male passenger have yet to be identified.
