London: The wreckage of a helicopter carrying an honorary vice president of Chelsea football club and three other men was found on Wednesday after it was reported missing from radar screens, police said.
Phillip Carter, chief executive of Nottingham-based support services company Carter & Carter had been aboard the helicopter, which disappeared in the early hours of Wednesday after leaving Liverpool on Tuesday night.
Carter and his colleagues had been at Anfield where they had seen Chelsea lose against Liverpool in the semi-final of the Champions League.
The wife of one of the passengers had notified police at 0715 am (IST) that the helicopter had failed to arrive at their home in Cambridgeshire.
Police said wreckage of the Twin Squirrel helicopter had been found in woodland, west of Peterborough.
No further details were immediately available.
In 1996, the Vice-Chairman of Chelsea, Matthew Harding, died when a helicopter carrying him and four companions back from a Chelsea game at Bolton plunged into farmland and burst into flames.
