The Vietnam Youth Newspaper reported today that 23-year-old British national Aiden Shaw Webb was traveling in Vietnam with his girlfriend. On the 3rd, he decided to climb Fansipan alone but went missing.
The report stated that local government and police deployed over 100 personnel for an extensive search and rescue operation. However, due to the complex, remote terrain with many valleys, the search was extremely difficult. Police found Webb in a deep valley yesterday afternoon with the help of police dogs, but he showed no signs of life.
The report said that after local authorities completed procedures including a forensic autopsy, they are actively assisting the family with the aftermath.
