The victim wore a brown long-sleeved sweater, black pants, and gray rain pants.
The information was then reported to local authorities and border guards. Through inspection, the victim had a citizen identification card under the name Bui Sy Nhat (48 years old, from Quynh Long commune, Quynh Luu district).
Currently, the authorities have notified the locality according to the citizen identification card found on the man's body to find the victim's relatives.
Previously, on the afternoon of March 18, a fishing boat with registration number NA 80209-TS carrying 4 fishermen in Nghe An sank while nearly 20 nautical miles from Nghe An - Ha Tinh coast, about 5 nautical miles east of Mat Island.
Of the 4 crew members on the boat, only Mr. Tran Van Huu (30 years old, residing in Van Hai commune, Quynh Luu district, Nghe An) wore a life jacket and drifted at sea for many hours, then on March 19 was rescued by fishermen and border guards and brought to shore.
The remaining 3 people, including Mr. Nguyen Van Cuong, Mr. Le Tuan Anh (all residing in Van Hai commune) and Mr. Bui Sy Nhat (residing in Quynh Luu district) are missing and have not been found.
With the discovery of a body on the person with a citizen identification card named Bui Sy Nhat washed ashore in Ha Tinh, it is likely that this victim was a missing fisherman on a fishing boat with registration number NA 80-209-TS.
