Authorities in southern Vietnam have launched an investigation after a human skeleton was discovered inside a rooftop water tank at a private residence in Biên Hòa City, Đồng Nai Province.
On the evening of June 22, Đồng Nai Provincial Police, in coordination with officers from Long Bình Tân Ward, cordoned off the scene after receiving a report of the shocking discovery.
Shocking Discovery During Home Repairs
According to initial police reports, around 5:00 p.m. the same day, a local homeowner, Mr. L.H.C, had hired a repairman to carry out maintenance work on his house in Long Bình Tân Ward.
While climbing onto the corrugated metal roof, the repairman noticed an unusual sight inside a stainless steel water tank mounted on the rooftop. Upon closer inspection, he realized it contained what appeared to be human skeletal remains.
The worker immediately alerted the homeowner, who then contacted local authorities.
Water Tank Had Been Abandoned for Months
Mr. C. told investigators that the stainless steel water tank had not been in use for an extended period. His family had switched to a direct municipal water supply several months ago, leaving the rooftop tank unused and largely unattended.
Investigation Ongoing
Local police and forensic teams are working to determine the identity of the deceased and ascertain the cause and circumstances of death. The origin of the skeletal remains and how long they had been in the tank remain unknown.
Authorities have not ruled out any possibilities, including foul play.
