At around 2:00 p.m. the same day, Thu saw B. crying and showing signs of fatigue, so she called Ms. T. to come pick her up. Ms. T. called B.'s grandfather to come pick her up.

When the grandfather arrived, he saw that his grandchild had fainted, so he called Ms. T. to come and take him to the emergency room. However, B. died before arriving at the Chau Thanh District Medical Center. After that, the grandfather went to Vinh Hanh Commune Police to report the case. The case was transferred to the Chau Thanh District Police Department for investigation according to its authority.

According to the autopsy results, the cause of B.'s death was acute hemorrhagic shock due to closed abdominal trauma and ruptured mesenteric artery.

The investigation determined that Thu's childcare facility had not been licensed as required, did not meet the conditions and standards for childcare, and was solely responsible for the care, nurturing, and education of the children, so she could not manage them. While taking care of the children, she accidentally caused the death of child B.

At the time of the incident, Thu was taking care of 9 children.
