Thai Navy Seal dies of infection contracted during the cave rescue a year ago
Sparse on details. Don't recall and news reports at the time of an injury occurring. Seems an awfully long time to not be able to successfully treat something with antibiotics, even given resistant strains of whatever it was.

"It was more than breathtaking, it was like having stumbled upon some alien cathedral on some other planet, which some otherworld race with their incomprehensible architecture and alien sculpture had ages past built, decorated, and dedicated to their unknowable God."

I've read some speculation by infectious disease specialists about the source but have not seen anything definitive. They mentioned an organism that's common in southeast Asia and had affected some soldiers in Vietnam. If anything is confirmed reliably I'll post it here.
