The body of Nguyễn Tấn Phát, 29, a resident of the province’s Biên Hòa City, was discovered on the stretch of the Đồng Nai River in Tân Mai Ward, about 6km away from the Săn Máu River where he disappeared.

Around 9pm Saturday, Phát drove his motorbike through the Kim Bích 2 Bridge across the river. Floodwater had inundated the bridge, sweeping Phát and his motorbike into the river.
