A former Thai Navy SEAL had died while trying to rescue the young football team that are trapped in a cave in Thailand. Samarn Kunan, 37(left and center) died due to a lack of oxygen in the tunnel. He was placing oxygen tanks through the cave's underground network while preparing for a potential rescue mission. Kunan was trying to reach a cavern set up as a command center one and a half miles inside the cave system when he ran out of air at 2am local time. The rescuer was working in a volunteer capacity and got into trouble in an overnight mission to help the 12 boys and their 25-year-old coach. His body has been sent to Suvarnabhumi airport in Bangkok and will be flown to his hometown in Roi Et. A huge operation is underway at the Tham Luang Nang Non cave complex, where dozens of Thai Navy SEALs and international experts are attempting to find a way to get the boys out.
