A British backpacker has been found dead in northern Vietnam, nearly a week after he was last seen, the BBC reported on Thursday.
Aiden Webb, 22, from Norwich, set off to climb the Fansipan mountain on his own on Friday.
His body was found by rangers in Sin Chai village at 12:50 local time (06:50 BST), the head of the Hoang Lien National Park told the BBC.
Webb had fallen and hurt himself on Friday, but his phone stopped working the next day.
Nguyen Quang Vinh, head of the Hoang Lien National Park in Lao Cai province in the north-west of the country, said: "It is very sad that we found the British tourist body today at 12:50.
Webb, an experienced climber, had started his ascent of the 3,100m (10,300ft) high mountain - Vietnam's tallest - at about 06:00 and planned to climb it in a day.
