Mourners filled a temple chamber for a final prayer session on Sunday in northern Thailand for one of the 12 boys rescued from a flooded cave in 2018 who died in England last month.

Duangphet “Dom” Phromthep, 17, was found unconscious in his room on February 12 at the Brooke House College Football Academy in Leicestershire and died at a hospital two days later.
