Mr. H's body was found more than 500m from the accident site.

Earlier, on the evening of July 17, Mr. H. left his house on his motorbike to go to the North Canal to pick vegetables. Afterwards, Mr. H.’s family did not see him return home so they frantically searched for him but to no avail.

On the morning of July 18, Mr. H's family received a report from people who discovered Mr. H's motorbike left on the sidewalk of Bac Canal.

The cause of the incident was determined to be that Mr. H. was unfortunately swept away by the water while picking vegetables in the North Canal and died.
