Police in Dinh Quan District, not far from Ho Chi Minh City, said several eighth-graders from the Ngo Thoi Nhiem Junior High were on an excursion at the Cay Si Falls on Friday when Nguyen Thi Hao and Nguyen Thi Mai Phuong slipped and were swept away by the strong currents.
Class monitor Do Van An rushed to save them but he was swept away as well by the swiftly flowing waters, police said.
The bodies of Hao and Phuong, both 14 years old, drifted to the stream’s banks on Saturday afternoon. Police and local residents are still looking for An.
