Boy Who Was Rescued From Thai Cave Dies In UK..5 Years After He & Teammates Survived 18 Days In Flooded Cave
A teenage boy rescued from a flooded Thai cave in 2018 has died in the UK after reportedly sustaining a head injury.
Duangpetch Promthep, thought to be 18, was among the 12 young football players on the Wild Boars team who, along with their coach, became trapped by rising floodwaters in the cave, prompting an international rescue operation that lasted 18 days.
Their story and eventual rescue by a team of nearly 100 divers gripped global attention and has since inspired multiple films including 2022's 'Thirteen Lives' starring Colin Farrell.
