Who was the former Thai navy SEAL who died during cave rescue operations to save soccer team?
USA TODAY NETWORK Ashley May, USA TODAYPublished 11:00 a.m. ET July 6, 2018 | Updated 12:08 p.m. ET July 6, 2018 Saman Gunan lost his life during rescue efforts of twelve boys and their soccer coach from a flooded cave in Thailand. USA TODAY A former Thai navy SEAL died early Friday morning trying to free a stranded soccer team from a cave in Thailand. Former Sgt. Saman Kunan, who was working as a volunteer alongside rescuers, died between 1 and 2 a.m. Friday local time. SEAL commander Arpakorn Yookongkaew said Kunan died placing oxygen canisters underwater along the route to the stranded boys. The Evening Standard notes this is the current method for replenishing air supply in the cave, where 12 boys and their soccer coach have been trapped since June 23. Kunan passed out and efforts to resuscitate him failed. A Facebook profile remembering Kunan, 38, shows images of a fit man with an adventurous spirit — bicycling and racing, clad in athletic gear. After retiring as a navy SEAL, Kunan became a triathlete and worked as an airport security officer, according to The Standard. read more Whiskey Politics
