On the evening of October 10, the Ho Chi Minh City Police Department announced that it was coordinating with Binh Chanh District Police to investigate and clarify the case of a young man who died mysteriously with a military gun, which occurred at the Stransix Hotel (Road 6C, Trung Son Residential Area, Hamlet 4B, Binh Hung Commune, Binh Chanh District).

The deceased was identified as Nguyen Thanh L (25 years old, from Ca Mau). According to the hotel staff, Mr. L rented room number 204 of the hotel to rest. However, seeing Mr. L enter but remain silent, not coming out of the room for a long time, the hotel staff went to the room and knocked on the door to check.

After calling for a long time but Mr. L did not open the door, the hotel staff opened the door and went inside to check. At this time, the hotel staff was terrified and discovered Mr. L lying on the floor in a dead state, with many blood stains next to him. Notably, there was also a military gun on the bed. Therefore, the hotel kept the scene intact and reported it to the police.

Upon receiving the report, Binh Chanh District Police coordinated with the city police's professional units to conduct a crime scene investigation and autopsy to investigate. At the scene, the police seized a K54 gun with one bullet still in the chamber. At the same time, on the bed there was a blanket with holes from a bullet hole.

Currently, the investigation agency is continuing to clarify this mysterious death.
