Vietnam Maritime search and Rescue Coordination Center (VMRCC) on April 20 sent a ship coded SAR 412 to save a Myanmar fisherman, who had suffered head trauma and fainted after falling from a Korean ship, 130 nautical miles from the central city of Danang.

SAR 412 carrying two doctors got access to the victim at 4.15pm on the same day. However 25-year old Thi Ha Tun died two hours earlier, they said.

The ship brought the body of the ill-fated fisherman to Danang port.

The VMRCC in Danang has worked closely with relevant agencies to repatriate the remain of the fisherman to his home country.
