On the evening of April 17, rescue teams recovered the body of a male tourist who had fallen into a deep ravine at Son Tra Peninsula in Da Nang, Vietnam. The body was brought to the surface to facilitate an official investigation.

Earlier that same afternoon, while patrolling the Son Tra Peninsula, authorities discovered a motorbike that had been abandoned for several days near the Bai Bac area. Upon inspection, identification documents belonging to a foreign tourist were found inside, raising suspicions of a possible accident.

Local forces including the military, civil defense, police, and the Fire Prevention, Fighting and Rescue Police Department of Da Nang promptly launched a coordinated search operation.

However, the search was significantly hampered by the area’s treacherous terrain, which included steep cliffs and vertical rock walls, making access to the site extremely difficult.

Rescue teams equipped themselves with a specialized pulley system, safety harnesses, and machetes to clear dense undergrowth while descending into the ravine.

After enduring hazardous conditions and navigating steep and rocky slopes, rescuers eventually reached the location of the male victim’s body at the base of the ravine.

Using the pulley system, the body was successfully retrieved and brought to the surface. The scene was immediately secured for investigation purposes. Forensic and investigative units arrived on-site to conduct necessary procedures in accordance with regulations.
