On September 15, Da Teh District Police (Lam Dong) said that rescue forces had found the body of a missing victim in a boat capsize on the Dong Nai River.
The victim was Mr. S (32 years old, residing in Phu Thanh village, Da Lay commune, Da Teh district). Currently, Da Teh district authorities are completing procedures to hand over the victim's body to his family for funeral arrangements.
Regarding this incident, the victim's body was found by authorities floating in the middle of the Dong Nai River, about 100 meters from where the boat capsized.
This area is a deep, fast-flowing waterfall that is very dangerous, causing many difficulties for forces directly participating in rescue.
Previously, Lao Dong Newspaper reported that at around 3:00 p.m. on September 13, three young men living in Da Lay commune invited each other to row an iron boat across the Dong Nai River, through Thuan Lo village, to go bird trapping.
When they reached the middle of the river, the water current was too strong and the boat capsized, causing all three people to fall into the river. Two people were rescued and brought to shore safely. Only Mr. Do Thanh S was swept away by the water and went missing.
After receiving the incident, Da Teh District Police, Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Team of Region 4 of Lam Dong Police stationed in Da Teh District, and local authorities deployed search and rescue measures.
