Before that, at around 5:00 p.m. on July 3, while Ms. Duong Thi Thao (Nghia's mother) was cooking and Mr. Tran Van At (Nghia's father) was busy with work, Nghia went out to the yard to play.

After cooking, Ms. Thao called her grandchild to come in to eat but could no longer find her. Suspecting that her child had been kidnapped, the family reported it to the authorities to coordinate the search.

After 5 days of active searching, at about 10:40 a.m. on July 8, Nghia's body was discovered about 2km from his home.

Authorities are blocking off the scene and conducting an autopsy to find the cause of the child's death.
