Mr. Dinh Huu Tri's family in Phu Loc hamlet, Phu Thanh commune, Phu Tan district, An Giang, is storing a dry corpse for over 36 years. Although no chemical marinated and stored in a normal environment, this body has no signs of decomposition.

Hao's dried corpse was placed in the house (Photo: SHVN). That dead corpse was his brother Tri, named Dinh Cong Hao. Hao was born in 1951, when he was 10 years old, he became ill, could not sleep and became ill. The East-West medical physicians who came to see the disease shook their heads at the time. At the end of 1968, Mr. Dinh Cong Hao took his last breath and was buried in a field far away from his house. Three days later, a male physician came to the house. When listening to Dinh Cong Buu (Hao's father) telling about his illness, this healer expressed his regret for not coming in time to save the patient and said that Mr. Hao had not died yet, and did not believe that his family kept digging.

Selling credit suspiciously but the hope was so great that Buu decided to devour his grave. When the lid of the coffin opened, everyone found the corpse as fresh as sleeping. The corpse was taken home, put on the chair of the chair covered with cloth.

Mr. Dinh Cong Tri recalled: "I was 13 at the time. When my father brought Hao's body home, everyone knew the news came to see it very much. At that time, the government sent a delegation of 5 doctors including 1 The American doctor came to look in. They all shook their heads away, saying that he was dead, and why the body was not decomposed or stenched, it was unclear when it was the Lunar New Year, my father built it. Another casket placed Hao on it, waiting for the doctors to come back after Tet. "

After a second autopsy, the doctors still did not make any conclusions . The body is drying up until today. Relatives in the area used to be called seductive. Mr. Buu covered the coffin with a glass so that everyone in the family could burn the incense when he lit incense. Currently Hao's hair is still in the same smooth black color, his hands have dried up like being impregnated with some chemical.

Mr. Tri said: "My family thought he was dead then buried, not thinking about embalming. For 36 years we have not used any medicine to marinate, so why not leave it; organs are not removed. " Mr. Tri also said that since the liberation day, no researcher or scientific organization has come to ask about Mr. Hao's dry corpse.

Mr. Nguyen Phu Cuong, Chairman of the People's Committee of Phu Thanh commune, said: "For a long time, local authorities knew that in Mr. Tri's house, there was a lot of certainty, but for many years, there were no environmental problems, diseases and families. there is also no superstition, so we do not recommend it above, if the agencies at all levels have asked to test Mr. Hao's body to serve science, the authorities are ready to persuade their families to cooperate.
