Dom, the boy trapped in the cave in Thailand commits suicide
The 17 year old Duangpetch Promthep – the young captain of the team soccer got trapped in a cave Thailand – would have taken his own life at the Brooke House College Football Academy in Leicester where he arrived in August 2022. The boy was found dead on 12 February and after an investigation that lasted months, confirmation of the suicide seems to have arrived. The investigations revealed no evidence to indicate the involvement of third parties in the death: too much media pressure appears to be behind the boy’s suffering.
According to what the psychologist who followed him after the accident told the Times, “Dom didn’t want to be in the spotlight. He didn’t like people looking for him or asking him about the cave story. He complained that his privacy was not being protected.” The boy had won a scholarship from the Zico Foundation and went to England to follow his dream of becoming a professional footballer. Then his tragic death.
