The rescue team, including officers and soldiers of Fire Prevention and Rescue Team No. 5, the District Military Command, and local people, searched the entire canal with a length of over 3 km. The search was conducted from nearly 4:00 p.m. to 7:50 p.m. before the body of Ms. Le Thi Phuong was discovered.
The body of Ms. Le Thi Phuong was found about 150m from Mu Ba sluice. Before that, to make the search easier, Mu Ba sluice was closed, preventing the Lam River from flowing through. The water in the Dao canal flowed downstream and receded more than 1m.
