The UK has opened and postponed an inquest into the passing of Duangpetch Promthep, one of the 12 boys who were rescued from a Thai cave in 2018.
The 17-year-old was a student at Brooke House College in Leicestershire's football academy when he was discovered unresponsive on February 12.
On February 14, he passed away at Kettering General Hospital.
Although a preliminary cause of death has been determined, it was not made public at the inquest's beginning.
A cause of death has been given, according to senior coroner Professor Catherine Mason for Leicester City and South Leicestershire. Up until the formal hearing, the cause of death is provisional.
"Investigations and inquiries are ongoing, so I'm unable to move forward. ".
A review hearing, according to her, would happen on July 6.
Last week, Leicestershire Police stated that they did not believe his death to be suspicious.
He was a football player who went by the name Dom and rose to fame as the leader of the Wild Boars, or Moo Pa in Thai.
He and his teammates were shut inside caves by flooding brought on by a sudden storm that blocked the exit.
Before they were discovered by an international search and rescue operation involving about 10,000 people, the boys—then between the ages of 11 and 16—and their 25-year-old coach—spent nine days in the dark without food.
While he was stranded in the cave, Dom turned 13 and pictures of the boys were broadcast around the globe.
A team of divers sedated them before removing them one at a time from the cave.
Some of them developed lung infections while they were trapped, and they left the hospital a few weeks later.
Dom had signed up to attend the college in Market Harborough's football academy as a student last year.
The college's principal, Ian Smith, said in a statement on February 15 that the incident had left the community "deeply saddened and shaken.".
We share the same level of sorrow as Dom's family, friends, former teammates, and everyone else involved in his life, as well as everyone else in Thailand and the rest of the college's international family.
"The college is in contact with the relevant authorities and the Royal Thai Embassy in London, and we are devoting all of our resources to helping our student body as they deal with Dom's passing as young people.
Beyond that, we are at this time unable to comment further and kindly request your understanding as we continue to support the students under our care by enlisting the kindness and support of the Market Harborough neighborhood.
