Duangpetch Promthep, one of the boys rescued from a flooded cave in Thailand in 2018 by an international team, has died in the UK.
In 2022, Duangpetch enrolled in the Brooke House College Football Academy in Leicestershire, which he said was a"dream come true".The teenager, also known as Dom, was the captain of the Wild Boar Academy football team that was trapped in Tham Luang cave while exploring in 2018 with their coach.
The twelve boys - aged 11 to 16 - and their 25-year-old coach had biked to the cave in Mae Sai district on Jun 23, 2018, going in to explore the 7km cave complex without knowing a heavy monsoon rain would fall. By the time they wanted to leave, water had filled the chambers and blocked their exit. Their disappearance triggered a search and rescue operation that snowballed into one of the most complex multinational missions the world has ever witnessed.
More than 10,000 people from Thailand and abroad came together to help in the 17-day search-and-rescue operation.
