The information that 7 people were found alive and 3 were found dead, leaving 4 missing is false.

On June 12, a clip was circulated on social media recording a drowning rescue incident, in which there was a line of text "Another case in Tam Nong, Dong Thap . 7 people went swimming in the river, 3 came back, 4 were missing" which attracted special attention from the public. Many people were confused when watching this information. The clip attracted hundreds of comments and shares despite being posted not long ago.

Vice Chairman of Tam Nong District People's Committee Chau Van Bo affirmed that the content of the posted clip is not true. In Tam Nong district, there is no story of 4 people missing while bathing in the river. The image in the clip is of a "fatal accident due to drowning" that occurred on May 18, 2023, causing one death.

Specifically, at about 3:40 p.m. on May 18, 2023, LPQA (born in 2005, residing in Phu Thanh A commune, Tam Nong district) and a group of friends were swimming in the river at the Kenh Duong Gao 1 bridge area (in Tram Chim town, Tam Nong district). The group jumped off the bridge together. During the process of jumping from the bridge railing into the canal, LPQA did not resurface after hitting the water. After that, the group of friends dived to search but did not find him, so they called for people and police to come to the rescue.

After receiving the report, Tram Chim Town Police mobilized forces to protect the scene and organize a search and rescue for the victim. At 5:50 p.m. on May 18, 2023, the victim's body was found. Through verification, it was determined that when LPQA jumped from a high place, he fainted, sank, and drowned.

The leader of Tam Nong District Police said that the unit has grasped the case of posting false information, causing public confusion as mentioned above; at the same time, it will coordinate with relevant forces to find the account owner who posted this clip, consolidate the case file, and handle it according to the provisions of the law.
