They were taken to Bo Trach General Hospital. However, Le Van Hung died on the way to hospital. Meanwhile, five others, Vo Van Hoa, Dinh Don, Nguyen Thanh Linh and Nguyen Van Due were being treated at Vietnam-Cuba Friendship Hospital in Dong Hoi City.

Among those, Due and Hue are also in critical condition. They are currently using ventilators.

According to doctors, the men would be harmed by hydro-sulfur which produced toxic gas from their fish store due to the hot weather.
