A picture of Phromthep was posted on Facebook on Wednesday by Zico Foundation, a Thai non-profit that had given him a soccer scholarship to help him study in the UK. “Zico Foundation would like to express our sorrow for the pass of Dom Duangpet Phromthep, a scholarship student from Zico foundation,” the post read.
In the summer of 2018, the Wild Boars youth soccer team from the province of Chiang Rai in northern Thailand was rescued after spending more than two weeks stranded in a network of flooded caves. Phromthep served as the team’s captain.
When rising floodwater cut off the 12 boys and their instructor deep inside the cave, they got trapped, setting off a nearly three-week-long multinational rescue operation.
Divers participating in the rescue cited dangerous conditions, including shallow water rushing quickly through spaces that were quite constrained.
The lads were divided into groups of four for the challenging three-day final operation and outfitted with 5-millimetre-thick wetsuits, complete face mask breathing equipment, and air bottles.
