The BBC has been slammed for a 'poor taste' headline alluding to 'happy ending' sexual services while covering the death of the Thai cave rescue boy Duangphet 'Dom' Phromthep.

Staff at the national broadcaster - funded by extorting annual fees with the threat of jail - wrote in their headline that the death of the young footballer 'shatters happiest of endings'.
