LÂM ĐỒNG — Three people from the same family died after drowning in a lake in Cát Tiên District in Lâm Đồng Province on Thursday afternoon.

At around 3.30pm Thursday, Lê Thị Huế, 29, along with her son Đinh Đức Vỹ, 10, and her 16-year-old nephew Đinh Gia Bảo, 16, went to play at the Bê Đê lake.

Vỹ slipped and fell into the water. Huế and Bảo swam to rescue him but also got into difficulties and also lost their lives.

Some nearby children saw the incident and ran to the village to get help, but they arrived too late.

An hour later, the Fire Department and Search and Rescue team of Lâm Đồng Province Police recovered the bodies of all three victims.

According to an estimate in 2020, more than 2,000 children under 16 years old have lost their lives each year due to drowning in Việt Nam. — VNS
