Australian tourist found dead in Ha Long Bay

Investigators suspect that he fell off a cruise ship.

An Australian tourist was found dead in Ha Long Bay in northern Vietnam on Monday afternoon, local authorities have said.

The 57-year-old man reportedly fell off an anchored cruiser at 9 a.m. when he was alone on the deck while 14 other Australian tourists were visiting a nearby island, local media reported.

After hearing a loud splash, the crew rushed up to the deck to find only his slippers.

Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO natural heritage site, is a popular destination for foreign visitors in Vietnam. Around 3.5 million foreigners visited the bay last year.
