A former Thai Navy diver who had volunteered to help rescue 12 boys and their coach from a cave in northern Thailand has died. Saman Kunan died at 2:00 a.m. Friday due to a lack of air while attempting to return to a command center deep underground. The command center is located two kilometers inside the cave, where the young soccer team and their coach have been trapped for almost two weeks.
Kunan, 38,was returning from delivering oxygen tanks to the cavern where the boys are when he ran out of air while underwater. One of Kunan's friends, Anuram Kaewchano, said, “I can't believe this happened. He was very fit, he exercised every day."
A military aircraft will carry Kunan's body from Chiang Rai to Satthahip Navy Base Friday evening. A funeral service will take place there, and then at his hometown in the province of Roi Et, northern Thailand.
Volunteer diver Mikko Paasi said that the mood at the camp had changed since the rescue team learned of Kunan's death. "Clearly you can feel it has an effect, but we're moving on. Everyone is a professional, so we're trying to put it away and avoid it happening again," said the Finn, who is a long-term resident of Thailand.
"Everybody is focusing on getting these boys out－keeping them alive or getting them out." Pornphimon Pansurin, a teacher from the nearby Darunrat School who teaches Ekarat Wongsukjan, one of the missing boys, said the missing boys may feel responsible for the tragedy. "If they learn about what has happened, they will blame themselves," she added, "They will feel very guilty."
