One of the 12 boys rescued from a flooded cave in Thailand in 2018 has died at 17.
Duangphet "Dom" Phromthep was reportedly found unconscious on Sunday in his room at the Brooke House College Football Academy in England.
The cause of death has not yet been revealed.
The boy had reportedly been in good health.
"Dom" was the captain of the Wild Boars, a youth soccer team in the northern Thai province of Chiang Rai.
In June 2018, twelve members of the group, aged 11 to 16, were exploring the Tham Luang cave complex in Thailand when they were trapped by rising floodwaters.
A massive search and rescue operation involving international divers was initiated.
The boys and their coach ended up spending nine nights lost in the cave before a diver spotted them.
It took another eight days for all of them to be rescued.
Their story has been retold in several movies.
In a statement, the football academy's principal expressed condolences and said the college community was deeply saddened.
