HẠ LONG — Australian tourist Stephen John Scott, whose body was found in the waters of Hạ Long Bay on Monday, committed suicide, the Quảng Ninh police said. On Monday afternoon, Scott’s body was pulled out near Ti Tốp Island, four hours after he was reported missing from the cruiser Biển Ngọc. However, Scott, head of the tourist group, and another British tourist chose to stay behind. An autopsy showed that there were no other injuries on Scott’s body and that he had died by drowning. Based on autopsy results and evidence, the police have concluded that Scott’s death is not a crime and that he had tied his legs to the dumbbell himself and committed suicide.
