MANCHESTER, England — A helicopter belonging to the owner of Leicester City, the English Premier League soccer club, crashed outside the club’s stadium on Saturday evening.

Initial news media reports suggested that Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, the Thai billionaire who bought the team in 2010 and bankrolled its fairy-tale Premier League title win in 2016, was on board, although the authorities did not immediately confirm that. The police said emergency services were “dealing” with an incident at the King Power Stadium, and did not say if anybody survived the crash.

The crash occurred a little after 8:30 p.m., an hour or so after the end of Leicester’s Premier League game against West Ham United.
