The hours pass and the pressure grows for the Thai army and divers to rescue 12 children and their soccer coach who were trapped two weeks ago inside a cave system in the north of the Asian country.

In addition to the tragedy, it is reported that an expert rescue diver and member of the national army died this Friday in his attempt to rescue the minors.

Sergeant Saman Kunan, 38, died around 2:00 pm local time when he ran out of oxygen. According to multiple sources, he lost consciousness as he was leaving the Tham Luang caverns, where he had delivered some air tanks.

His death has accentuated the uncertainty of the parents of the minors, who have been waiting for good news since their disappearance.

The children were trapped during an excursion when it began to rain torrentially and took refuge in the mentioned caves. The rising water left them trapped and forced them into the caverns.
