NAKHON RATCHASIMA: As research efforts for the two remaining employees continued into the seventh day of the operation, one trapped employee from Myanmar was discovered dead in a fell train pipe on Thursday.
Rescuers from the State Railway of Thailand ( SRT ) and a team from China’s Hunan Sunshine found the body of the Myanmar truck driver at 11am, according to Ekkarat Sriarayanpong, head of the SRT governor’s office.
According to Mr. Ekkarat, the victim’s name was at this moment a mystery, and the SRT was prepared to help his family.
Chaiwat Chuenkosum, the governor of Nakhon Ratchasima, confirmed that the body of the Burmese regional had been discovered beneath a pile of soil and rocks next to a truck.
He claimed more scent dogs have been used in the search and that rescuers have also found vital signs in the two remaining men.
A design superintendent and a shovel driver are the only Chinese workers still trapped.
A Chinese engineering team has reinforced the structure of the collapsed tunnel, according to the Disaster Response Associations Thailand ( DRA ) for the protection of rescuers. The hole roof has been monitored for sinking and safety because rocks and soil that are obstructed the path have been removed.

On Wednesday, rescuers who were digging through the dust managed to get a metre or more of one of the three buried workers, whose essential signs were being tracked down by scanners.
Since the hole collapsed on Saturday night, the three people have been trapped. The Sino-Thai high-speed railway, which runs between Bangkok and Nong Khai state, which edges Laos, is connected by the hole.
Approximately 1.5 kilometers from the tunnel’s access, which is near the Khlong Khanan Chit coach station in the tambon Chan Thuek of the Pak Chong region in Nakhon Ratchasima, the collapse occurred.
