The well where Loi had the accident was dug by Nguyen Van Chinh’s family many years ago. The well was about 14 meters deep. There was a lot of water in the well. The well had a wall and was covered by a plank and a plastic sheet.

People living next to Mr. Chinh’s house said that when the three children were playing around the well, there were no adults at home. While playing, the children climbed onto a plank and a plastic sheet to sit on. Loi crawled onto the plastic sheet, but it broke and he fell into the well.
