Thai cave rescuer dies from year-long blood infection
Beirut was buried on Friday in his home province of Satun in a ceremony according to Islamic funeral rituals, officials said.
The Wild Boars youth football team, aged between 11 and 16, and their 25-year-old coach had been exploring the cave on 23 June 2018 when a downpour flooded the tunnels, trapping them deep underground.They were all eventually freed in a 17-day international rescue effort that involved more than 90 divers and captured the attention of the world's press.
The cave in Thailand's northern Chiang Rai province was only reopened to tourists in November this year. The opening ceremony was attended by monks, government officials and park rangers.It was the first time tourists had been allowed inside the cave since the rescue last year
