Family and friends of Duangphet “Dom” Phromthep, one of the soccer players rescued from a flooded cave in northern Thailand in 2018, bid farewell to their teammate who died in the U.K. last month.

Duangphet was found unconscious in his room on Feb. 12 at the Brooke House College Football Academy in Leicestershire, where he was on a scholarship, and died two days later in a hospital. His body was cremated earlier this week in the U.K. On Saturday morning, his cremated ashes arrived in the far northern province of Chiang Rai, where funeral rites will be held over the next few days.
