Immediately after that, the search was urgently carried out. Because the lake is large and the water is deep, the search was quite difficult. The family hired boats and divers to search continuously from the evening of April 21.
At 9:30 a.m. on April 22, divers discovered Manh's body submerged at the scene of the incident. His family brought his body home for burial.
