(Baonghean.vn) - We were so busy playing that when it was getting dark, the two of us looked for you to call home but you were nowhere to be found.

This morning (May 6), Ms. Lo Thi Hoan - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Don Phuc commune, Con Cuong district confirmed: A drowning incident just occurred in the commune, causing the death of a 3-year-old boy.

It is known that at around 6:00 p.m. on May 5, Vi Bao An (born in 2017), son of Vi Van Ti and Nguyen Thi Dien in Phuc village, Don Phuc commune, Con Cuong district, along with his two brothers, the eldest in 3rd grade and the second in 1st grade, went to the stream in front of the house to bathe.

They were busy playing until it was getting dark, when a man in the neighborhood passed by the stream and reminded them to go home. The two brothers turned back to look for An but could not find her.

The eldest brother recounted: While the two brothers were busy climbing trees and teasing each other by the stream, An did not notice and went down to the stream to bathe. Because he did not know how to swim, he drowned and died.

Mr. Ti and Ms. Dien’s family is poor and has four children; the youngest daughter is only a few months old. They also said that their children often go to the river and stream to play.

Currently, An's family has buried him according to local customs; the commune government and the Red Cross Society of Con Cuong district have visited, supported and expressed condolences to the family./.
