Found the body of a young man who got lost on the way to visit his girlfriend
(Baonghean.vn) - A 24-year-old man rode his motorbike alone from Hanoi to Thanh Hoa to visit his girlfriend but got lost in Nghe An province. Three days later, his body was found in the Hieu River.
On the morning of February 19, Mr. Doan Van Huan - Chairman of the People's Committee of Nghia Mai Commune (Nghia Dan) said that the authorities and the family had just found the body of Mr. Phung Thanh S. (24 years old), residing in Hanoi, after 3 days of losing contact. Currently, the police are present at the scene to investigate the cause of death.
The body was found floating on the Hieu River, passing through Nghia Mai Commune, about 100m from where the victim’s motorbike was located. This area has been exploited for sand and gravel for many years, so the water is very deep and swirling, causing frequent drowning incidents.
According to the victim's family, on February 16, the young man rode his motorbike along the Ho Chi Minh Highway from Hanoi to Thanh Hoa to visit his girlfriend. However, he then drove about 20 km beyond Thanh Hoa, reaching Nghia Dan district. The last time the young man contacted his family was around 7:00 p.m. on February 16...
After receiving the report, for many days now, the authorities and local people have been helping to search. The victim's motorbike was later found slipping and falling on a sand and gravel bank about 5m from the bank of Hieu River. The victim's phone was also found there but the battery was dead, along with some personal documents and clothes. On the sand there were also traces of someone lying down to rest. This location is more than 20km west of Ho Chi Minh Road.
"This is a very remote area, even locals who want to get here have a hard time finding their way. I don't understand how he got lost here. The specific cause will have to wait for the police to conclude. But initially, it can be determined that after getting lost here, because he was too tired, he rested on the sandbank, then he walked back to the riverbank to wash or get water and slipped and fell into the river. This area is very dangerous, because the riverbed is exploited for sand and gravel, the water is deep and swirling, people who can't swim will die if they fall in," said an acquaintance of the victim who was present at the scene.
The incident is still under investigation.
