Quang Ninh, Vietnam — A Taiwanese tourist tragically passed away after losing consciousness while having breakfast on a five-star cruise ship in Ha Long Bay on June 27.
According to Hoang Dinh Thanh, Deputy Director of Bai Chay Hospital in Ha Long City, the hospital received an emergency call at 9:26 a.m. reporting that a foreign passenger had lost consciousness on board a cruise ship. The victim was identified as Huang Hsiu Hsing, 66, holding Taiwanese (China) nationality, with passport number 368402xxx and visa number DB 0189xxx.
A medical team was immediately dispatched to the port and reached the patient at 9:50 a.m. when the vessel docked. At that point, basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was already being performed. The medical team noted a large amount of food and digestive fluid obstructing the throat area, and the patient’s carotid pulse was faint and irregular.
Emergency responders cleared and secured the airway, continued chest compressions, and transported the patient to Bai Chay Hospital. Despite ongoing efforts, the patient experienced cardiac arrest en route. At the hospital, advanced resuscitation procedures were administered for 60 minutes, but no pulse was restored. The hospital ultimately pronounced the patient deceased, with no signs of recovery.
Local authorities, including the Giếng Đáy Ward Police, have been notified and are coordinating further procedures. Ms. Huang had been a passenger on the Paradise Elegance QN 8866 cruise, which was returning to Tuan Chau Port to disembark guests when the incident occurred
