The incident happened at around 7:00 p.m. on July 8. Vi Van Dan (born in 1986) and Vi Van Son (born in 1985), residing in Coc village, Chau Binh commune, Quy Chau district, were drinking alcohol together at Dan's house.
While drinking, both of them showed signs of poisoning. Mr. Dan's wife and neighbors came to take them to the emergency room. However, Mr. Dan died on the way.
Mr. Son was transferred to Quy Chau District General Hospital for emergency treatment and then transferred to Vinh for further treatment.
The initial cause was determined to be two people poisoned by alcohol soaked with forest roots.
It is known that 3 days before, Mr. Dan and his wife went to the forest to pick bamboo shoots and took advantage of the opportunity to collect forest roots to soak in wine to drink. Mr. Dan already had a wife and two small children, while Mr. Son had just been married for nearly 3 months. Both families were considered to be particularly poor households in the commune.
The wine bottle has been sealed and seized by authorities to assist in the investigation.
