On July 24, the People's Committee of Tuyen Lam commune (Quang Tri province) said that at around 2:30 p.m. on July 23, while collecting forest bamboo shoots, people discovered a human skeleton about 3km from the location where the search was held.
Through initial identification, the items in the forest at the scene were similar to what Mr. C.M.H (born in 1985, residing in Bac Son village 4, Tuyen Lam commune) took when he went missing. The police force and Mr. H's relatives were present at the scene to coordinate in verifying his identity.
Previously, as reported by Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. H went into the forest to find bees on May 17 but did not return until evening. Relatives reported to the authorities and a search with nearly 60 people was launched, but no results were reported.
