Three British tourists have died while climbing waterfalls in central Vietnam.
The bodies of two unnamed women, aged 19 and 25, and a man were recovered at the Datanla waterfalls in the Lam Dong central highlands province of the country.
It was not immediately clear how they died but their guide has been arrested and is being questioned by police.
“We are working on the reasons for their deaths,” Dalat city's deputy police chief Bui Duc Ro told AFP.
Vo Anh Tan, deputy director of the Lam Dong joint stock tourist company that manages the Datanla waterfalls said an unauthorised local private tour operator organised the trip for the tourists.
Tan said apparently he did not pay for entrance tickets and did not use the company’s safety gear.
Tan also said the guide had been detained by police for questioning.
Emergency workers reportedly climbed down a steep slope near the waterfall to recover the bodies that were discovered wearing life jackets.
