Three British tourists have been found dead near some waterfalls in Vietnam.
It was not immediately clear how the tourists - reported to be two women aged 19 and 25, and a man - had died.
Local news reports said police believed the visitors might have slipped while exploring the Datanla waterfalls.
Their bodies were found downstream from the falls, in Lam Dong province, which are a popular site with Western visitors. A local man has been questioned by police.
Steep slope
Emergency workers had climbed down a steep slope to recover the bodies, which were found wearing life jackets, the local reports said.
Deputy director of the tourist company which manages the falls, Vo Anh Tan, said visitors usually started at the top of the tiered waterfalls.
The Foreign Office said: "We are in contact with local authorities in Ho Chi Minh City, following an incident near Da Lat, Vietnam."
Da Lat is the capital of Lam Dong province, in the country's Central Highlands.
