This comes after other miners assigned to the mission indicated that they have a good chance of finding Okwach after seeing flies coming from a specific location in the cave.
They also stated that they could smell a foul odor coming from the cave, implying that Tom's corpse had already begun to rot.
The miner has now been buried alive in the gold mine cave for 46 days.
Okwach was alongside other miners on the tragic day. One of them died, while the other six were rescued. After six days beneath the ground, three survivors were found alive, but a week later, local miners stated they lost contact with Okwach, making it difficult to rescue him.
Okwach`s mother Joyce Oluoch pinned her hopes on the Christian notion that a man may last 40 days without eating.
