On the evening of August 16, authorities in Thua Thien - Hue province examined the scene and performed an autopsy to clarify the death of a man.

At around 4pm the same day, some residents in village 8B, Thuy Phu commune, Huong Thuy town, Thua Thien - Hue province discovered a white taxi stuck in a lake with no one inside. Suspecting something unusual, they reported it to the local authorities and police.

Authorities quickly arrived at the scene, coordinated with local residents to lift the taxi to check underneath and discovered the body of a man, possibly the driver of the vehicle.

A witness said that he had seen the taxi in the above location since early afternoon but did not go near to check so he did not know that someone had an accident under the car.

The leader of Thuy Phu Commune People's Committee said that the police initially determined that the victim was born in 1975, residing in Lang Co town (Phu Loc district, Thua Thien - Hue province).
