Going to pick up the child, the wife discovered her husband dead in the shrimp pond

Tragic news from Tay Ninh province as a local man lost his life in what appears to be a devastating workplace accident. N.C.T., aged 36, was found dead at his family's shrimp farm, a place of livelihood that tragically became the site of his demise. The circumstances, as reported by Cong An Xa Thuan My, point towards a potential electrical malfunction while he was operating a water pump, a common piece of machinery in such agricultural settings.

The discovery was made by his wife, who had briefly left the farm to pick up their child from school. Her harrowing experience of finding her husband unresponsive, still gripping the pump's control lever, underscores the suddenness and shock of the incident. Despite immediate efforts to provide first aid and rush him to the hospital, medical professionals confirmed he had already passed away. This personal tragedy highlights the inherent risks faced by those working in agriculture, where electrical equipment is often essential but can pose significant dangers if not properly maintained.

Authorities from Cong An Xa Thuan My were quick to respond, securing the scene and initiating preliminary investigations. Crucially, there were no signs of external force or struggle at the location, and the family themselves indicated that the electrical system, specifically the motor housing and control handle for the water pump, showed signs of leakage. Given these findings and the family's wish to forgo an autopsy, the authorities have classified the incident as an accidental death, ruling out any criminal involvement. This allows the family to proceed with funeral arrangements and begin the difficult process of mourning their loss.
