Previously, on the afternoon of April 30, 8 students in Trung Son commune (Do Luong, Nghe An) went swimming together at Lam river. While playing, some of them were swept away by the water. Nguyen Van Nam (a student of class 12T7 (Do Luong 1 High School) was catching birds nearby, heard cries for help coming from the riverbed and discovered the children struggling in the water. Nguyen Van Nam immediately jumped into the river to save them. After saving 3 children to shore, Nam continued to swim out to save the remaining child. Because the place where the children drowned was far from the shore, and the river flow was quite strong, Nam was exhausted and swept away by the water after bringing the remaining child to shore safely. It was not until the afternoon of May 1 that Nguyen Van Nam's body was found and brought home for burial.
