Three divers from northern coastal Quang Ninh province on May 4 noon found the body of a US tourist who drowned in Ca Nhay water fall two days ago in Ban Ho village, Sa Pa district of northern Lao Cai province.

An official from Ban Ho village, Dao Van Son, said that the body of Cottr Hnolivev was found about five metres under the rock’s chink, not far from the site where he swam and fell into a whirlpool on the afternoon of May 2. He was touring the village with two other visitors, an American and a British, and two Vietnamese guides.

The local rescue forces could not find his body as they lack special diving equipment, so divers had to be sent in from Quang Ninh.

Ca Nhay Fall in Ban Ho is a beautiful place located at the foot of Hoang Lien Son mountain. There are many deep caves and whirlpools in the area.

This is the first accident for foreign visitors at the tourist spot. Earlier, two Vietnamese were drowned when they were swimming under the fall.
