The eyes of the entire world are fixated at the rescue operation of 12 kids who are stuck inside a cave in Thailand. These kids who were just wandering and somehow travelled almost 6 miles in, were stuck when the water from rainfall swept inside the Tham Luang cave.
In a bid to save them, a rescue operation was launched where divers went inside the cave with oxygen tanks to bring the kids outside. Part of this operation was a former Navy Seal who died overnight during the effort to rescue the 12 boys and their coach.
The world needs a hero right now and Saman Gunan was one. The former Thai Navy SEAL volunteered to help the soccer team stuck in a cave. He died underwater delivering oxygen canisters so the boys could breathe. The Thai Navy wants to posthumously promote him. #ThaiCaveRescue pic.twitter.com/WplvxrDww9

The seal died because of lack of oxygen, as reported by Thai authorities.
Sergeant Saman Guana, who was 37-years-old and died in cold water around 2 am will now be sent back to Sattahip Naval base from where his body will be sent back to his family. We can only imagine how devastating this loss is for his family. People all over the world are lauding his efforts and supreme sacrifice.
The Diver who died in the attempt to save those boys in the cave.... he had left the Thai Navy but came back to join in the rescue attempt ...whether you’re religious or non religious ....l’m sure you’ll agree with the sentiment ... There’s a place in Heaven for him...RIP 🍀 pic.twitter.com/BIDTjF0mQE
