He was previously rushed to Quang Ninh District General Hospital by some local people who said he was hit in a traffic accident in Le Thuy District.
"Despite our efforts, he died due to seriously injuries," doctor Binh said. "He has no personal papers so has not been identified yet. We are keeping his body and waiting to transfer it to his family."
According to some local people, they saw the man walking with a group of three people who were holding banners which say "Trans-Vietnam Walk to Protect the Environment." The man was far behind his two friends so they didn't know about the accident.
