The son of Leicester City FC's former chair has criticized the manufacturer of a helicopter that crashed and killed his father, calling it a "death trap."

Five people died when the Leonardo AW169 helicopter crashed outside the King Power Stadium and became engulfed in flames. An inquest jury ruled on Tuesday that the crash was an accident.

The jury concluded that the helicopter had all airworthiness and maintenance certificates and that the pilot took all available and appropriate options to try to regain control.

The inquest heard that the helicopter had spun because of a mechanical fault involving a bearing in the tail rotor. The helicopter crashed onto its left-hand side on a 0.5m concrete step, creating a "substantial" fuel leak, which ignited the rear of the helicopter within a minute of the impact.

Four of the five people killed in the crash died because of smoke inhalation after the fire started, while the co-pilot "likely died at the point of impact" from traumatic injuries.

The son of the former chair has launched a £2.15bn lawsuit against the Italian manufacturer Leonardo SpA. The sum is for loss of earnings and other damages incurred as a result of the billionaire's death.
