"Northern Ireland peer and industrialist Lord Ballyedmond was one of four people killed in a helicopter crash in Norfolk, it has been confirmed.
The helicopter came down in a field near his stately home in Gillingham, near Beccles, on Thursday evening.
Lord Ballyedmond, who was one of Northern Ireland's richest men, and the three other people on board, all confirmed as male, died at the scene.
It is also understood that another man from County Down was on board.
It is not known what caused the crash but witnesses reported fog in the area at the time and said the helicopter came down very soon after taking off at about 19:30 GMT.
A spokesman for the Air Accidents Investigation Branch said it would be sending a team to the area."
Sometimes it's easy to get carried away and think that there must be somethig dodgy going on whenever anyone famous, rich or Knighted dies BUT in this case he has was made a peer following his success in vetinary pharmaceuticals and my little ariel twinged a bit.....
