On the afternoon of August 24, at around 5:30 p.m., in Bich Hao commune (Nghe An), local people discovered that Nguyen Van Sau (born in 1973) was unfortunately electrocuted to death while he and his wife and children were pumping water into plastic bags to secure the corrugated iron roof to prevent storms.
According to initial information, the electrical line under the corrugated iron roof was exposed, causing electricity to leak onto the roof. When Mr. Sau climbed up to pump water, he was suddenly electrocuted. Seeing her husband and father in trouble, his wife and children rushed to help, but were also electrocuted and severely burned.
Immediately afterwards, all three were taken to the emergency room by relatives, but Mr. Sau died on the way to the hospital. His wife and child are currently being treated at the hospital.
Mr. Nguyen Khanh Thanh - Chairman of Bich Hao Commune People's Committee said that the government has visited, expressed condolences, and supported the family in arranging the funeral. Mr. Thanh advised: "Through this unfortunate incident, people need to remain calm, comply with safety principles in the process of preventing and fighting natural disasters; pay attention to checking the electrical system, avoiding leakage, and at the same time equipping themselves with the necessary skills to protect their lives."
