Israeli boy who died from jellyfish sting in Thailand to be cremated – The Times of Israel

A 9-year-old Israeli boy living in Thailand who died of a jellyfish sting has been named as Li-Yam Levi.
The boy’s father has decided to cremate his son rather than bring the body to Israel for burial, according to Hebrew media reports.
As The Times of Israel’s environment reporter, I try to convey the facts and science behind climate change and environmental degradation, to explain – and critique – the official policies affecting our future, and to describe Israeli technologies that can form part of the solution.
I am passionate about the natural world and disheartened by the dismal lack of awareness to environmental issues shown by most of the public and politicians in Israel.
I’m proud to be doing my part to keep Times of Israel readers properly informed about this vital subject – which can and does effect policy change.
