Immediately after receiving it, Lao Cai Power Company arranged personnel to inspect the scene.
The preliminary cause was determined to be that the victim voluntarily climbed onto the power pole to get the bird's nest, violating the high voltage safety distance, leading to electric shock causing death.
The victim is S.A.C, born in 2015, residing in Pa Hu village, Tram Tau commune, Lao Cai province.

To minimize electrical accidents, Lao Cai Power Company recommends that people absolutely do not climb on power poles or approach high-voltage power lines in any form.
In particular, during the time when students are preparing for summer vacation, parents, schools and local authorities need to strengthen propaganda and manage children not to perform dangerous acts such as climbing electric poles to get bird nests, flying kites near power lines, climbing on roofs, tall trees near power grid corridors...
