Body found near Trong Cave suspected to be victim of tourist boat capsize in Ha Long Bay

Immediately after receiving the report from the local people, the Ha Long Bay Management Board's forces proceeded to protect the scene. The rescue forces of Quang Ninh province quickly moved to the scene to recover the body and brought it to Bai Chay Hospital to conduct identification procedures through DNA samples. However, the verification and identification of the victim will take time because the body is severely deformed.

According to authorities, the victim's body drifted quite far from the area where the boat capsized. If the body is confirmed to be the victim of the QN 48-7105 tourist boat capsize, 39/39 victims have been found.

Previously, on the afternoon of July 19, while the tourist boat Blue Bay 58, number QN48-7105, was visiting route 2 on Ha Long Bay, it suddenly encountered a storm that caused the boat to capsize. The accident killed 49 people on board (46 passengers, 3 crew members). Of these, only 10 people were lucky enough to survive. 38 bodies have been found, verified, and handed over to their families.
