Tragedy in Taoyuan: Vietnamese Nationals Found Dead in Suspected Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Investigation Underway After Four Vietnamese Individuals Perish in Taiwan

Taipei, Taiwan – Authorities are investigating the tragic deaths of four Vietnamese nationals in Taoyuan, Taiwan, with preliminary findings pointing towards carbon monoxide poisoning.

On Saturday evening, the Taoyuan Police Department's Yangmei Precinct responded to a request to check on the occupants of a rental unit in Yangmei District after friends had lost contact with them for several days.

Upon entering the apartment, officers discovered the deceased – two males and two females – with no apparent signs of violence or injury. Initial assessments suggest carbon monoxide poisoning as the likely cause of death. However, the Taoyuan prosecutors have ordered autopsies to confirm the cause.

The deceased have been identified as a 22-year-old man surnamed Nguyễn, a 27-year-old man surnamed Trần, both absconded migrant workers, a 23-year-old female migrant worker surnamed Nguyễn, and a 20-year-old female exchange student surnamed Phan.

According to police reports, the 22-year-old Nguyễn was discovered in the bathroom with the hot water running and the doors and windows shut. Phan was found in a bedroom, while Trần and the 23-year-old Nguyễn were in another bedroom. There was no evidence of forced entry or theft at the residence.

In addition to the autopsies, police are collaborating with Vietnam's representative office in Taiwan and reviewing surveillance footage from the surrounding area as part of their investigation.
