A vice director of Vietnam’s Cienco 6, a company belonging to a consortium responsible for developing Ho Chi Minh City’s first metro line, was Saturday morning found dead hanged at his office in the city’s Thu Duc District.

The man’s body was found hanged from a staircase by a security guard, said Duong Huu Hoa, director of the metro line project.

Line 1 of Ho Chi Minh City’s planned metro system will run nearly 20 kilometers from Ben Thanh Market in District 1 to the Suoi Tien Theme Park in District 9.

Cienco 6, fully known as Civil Engineering Construction Corporation No. 6, is one of the two companies in a consortium that’s responsible for developing the project’s second tender package, which involves building above-ground sections of the metro line and associated depots.

The deceased, who is Cienco 6’s vice director, is identified only by his initials V.P.A.

The scene of death was the office of the executive board of the second tender package in Thu Duc District.

Thu Duc police arrived at the scene shortly after for autopsy and scene investigation.
