BBC Sport Editor apologises for offensive off-air comments on Leicester City crash victims
A recording emerged of Dan Roan's remarks about Mr Srivaddhanaprabha's marriage, which were picked up by microphones outside Leicester's King Power Stadium.
He made them on Monday close to the crash site where thousands had come to lay flowers, including Mr Srivaddhanaprabha's wife Aimon and son Aiyawatt.
The recording was later posted online.

A spokesman for the BBC said: "This was an ill-judged comment made in a private off-air conversation for which Dan has apologised."

Police confirmed the others who died were employees Nursara Suknamai and Kaveporn Punpare, pilot Eric Swaffer and his partner Izabela Roza Lechowicz, who was also a professional pilot.
