The 30-year-old was a ‘temporary resident’ in Vietnam at the time of his death
A Cambridgeshire man died of ‘traumatic injuries’ after a crash in Vietnam, an inquest has heard. Luke Khushil Vaja, aged 30, died on April 16, 2025 in Da Nang City, Vietnam. A written inquest into his death, carried out by Coroner Elizabeth Gray, concluded he died of “multiple traumatic injuries”.
The inquest read that Vietnam Police were called to a single-vehicle crash at the intersection of Tran Hung Dao, Le Van Duyet, Van Don, Nai Hien Dong Ward, Son Tra District, Da Nang City, Vietnam at around 6.25am on April 16. Mr Vaja was found dead by police at the scene, next to a two-wheeled motorbike.
A police report said the incident was a “self-inflicted traffic accident”. The motorbike found next to Mr Vaja was noted to be “slightly damaged”.
After his death, Mr Vaja was brought back to the UK for a CT post mortem to be carried out. This post mortem confirmed his cause of death which was “consistent with reports of a single-vehicle collision”.
The inquest also read that Mr Vaja’s family requested more details from Vietnam Police, including CCTV footage, images of the crash and blood test results. The family has not yet received this.
The family were also advised by the police force that an “investigation is still in progress”. Coroner Gray expressed her condolences to the family and friends of Mr Vaja.
