After hearing the news that her brother, sailor Dau Ngoc Cam, was missing at sea, Ms. Dau Thi Van (52 years old, younger sister) cried continuously, then lost consciousness. Seeing the critical situation, her relatives took her to the hospital for emergency treatment. However, according to doctors, Ms. Van's chances of survival were very low because the grief caused her to panic, high blood pressure, and affect her life.

Although doctors and relatives tried their best to save the victim, they could not save the situation and the victim passed away this morning, September 7.
