Missing boy in Quang Binh: Father collapses next to son's coffin

As soon as the scene was sealed off, hundreds of people came in to light incense for the child, the incense bowl burning bright red on the white sand.

After 5 days of searching, yesterday morning, the body of Tran Trung Nghia (6 years old - commonly known as No) was found in a lake in Tien Phong residential group, Quang Long ward, Ba Don town in a state of decomposition.

Mr. At cried in front of the coffin of his unfortunate child.

Mr. Tran Minh Phuong (born in 1984), head of the residential group, was the first person to discover the child's body while fishing.

After 5 days of waiting for news of her child, Ms. Thao's health had deteriorated significantly. As soon as she received the bad news, her whole family rushed to her with only one wish - that it wasn't No.

The moment she saw her son's body floating in the lake, Ms. Thao fainted on the spot and her family had to take her to the hospital for emergency care.

At noon, the sand dunes were scorching hot, but thousands of people still came to offer condolences to the family. Many people waited just to light an incense stick for No.

At around 10:30 a.m., the child's body was taken out of the lake, and a tarp was set up next to it for the investigating agency to conduct an autopsy to serve the investigation.

Authorities drained the lake to assist with the investigation.

A pump with two large water taps was brought to the scene to drain the lake and find evidence for the investigation.

At home, a small theater was hastily set up right in front of the yard. The neighbors who played with No every day had tired legs and could not cross the sand to get to the scene, so they had to wait for him to come home.

At around 2:00 p.m., the child's body was handed over to the family to carry out burial procedures.

When the lid of the small coffin was closed, dozens of relatives and hundreds of people rushed in to stand around.

In the middle of the vast sand dunes, there were only heartbreaking cries. In front of his son's coffin, Mr. At kept kneeling down and falling down, calling his son's name over and over again: "Why are you suffering like this, my son? What did I do wrong to anyone that now my hair is gray and my hair is green. You are still so young, what crime have you committed..."

Farewell to baby Nghia in the afterlife.

Hundreds of people tried to squeeze in to light an incense stick for the child, the incense bowl suddenly burst into flames in the middle of the vast white sand.

Before the person had recovered, the child's body was taken home by relatives nearly 2km away.

Mr. At's house is on the edge of the residential area, behind it are large sand dunes and trees. In the past few days, the house has always been crowded with people coming and going. Everyone is in pain over the child's passing.
