The ashes were delivered to his parents at Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok by Kiatisuk Senamuang – a former striker and head coach of Thailand’s national football team – whose non-profit organisation Zico Foundation helped Duangpetch obtain a scholarship to study at the Brooke House College Football Academy in Leicestershire last year.His body was cremated in Leicester on Tuesday.
“Phra That Doi Wao Temple, where he was ordained, will hold a praying ceremony for three days and two nights. We will then scatter his ashes in the Mekong River in Chiang Saen,” said Duangpetch’s mother Thanaporn Promthep.Duangpetch was the former captain of a Thai junior football team – the Wild Boar Academy. He was one of the 12 schoolboys rescued from the Tham Luang Nang Non cave in the northern province of Chiang Rai in 2018.
The search and rescue operation involved thousands of volunteers, officials, cave divers and experts from around the world. It ended successfully with all 13 brought to safety.According to Kiatisuk, Duangpetch was found unconscious in his dorm room by a teacher and was taken to Kettering General Hospital.
