Ha Tinh, Vietnam (CNN) — Nguyen Thi Phong and Pham Van Thin live in a small
house in Nghen, a town in Vietnam's Ha Tinh province. It has a corrugated
metal roof, propped up on loose bricks, and a Vietnamese flag flies outside.
The family doesn't have much -- they make about $400 a month between them --
but they say they managed to scrape together the money to pay for their
daughter, Pham Thi Tra My, to travel to the UK, where they hoped she would
have a chance at a better life.
That journey ended in tragedy. Pham Thi Tra My is believed to be among the
39 people found dead in a refrigerated lorry trailer at an industrial park
in Grays, Essex, on Wednesday.

She texted her parents late on Tuesday night, UK time, when the trailer was
in transit to the English port of Purfleet, according to Maritime tables
seen by CNN.
"I'm sorry Dad and Mom. The way I went overseas was not successful," the 26-
year-old wrote. "Mom, I love Dad and you so much. I'm dying because I can't
breathe. Nghen, Can Loc, Ha Tinh, Vietnam. Mom, I am so sorry, Mom."
It has not yet been confirmed that Pham Thi Tra My was one of the victims on
the truck, but her family said they fear the worst. UK authorities are
working with their Vietnamese counterparts to identify the victims but have
not yet officially named any of them or confirmed their nationalities.
Speaking to CNN in the family's home in Vietnam, Pham Van Thin was still
overcome with grief, saying it was "very painful" to receive the text. He
said his daughter must have known she was going to die when she sent it.
Pham Van Thin said he and his wife paid around $40,000 to send their
daughter to the UK, where she is believed to have been one of the victims of
the Essex truck disaster.

"I've lost both my loved one and my money," Pham said, adding that the
smugglers they paid did not tell the family how they would transport Tra My
to the UK. She traveled to the country via China and France, but eventually
fell out of contact with her family, after which Pham reported her missing.
By then it was too late, Pham Thi Tra My and the other 38 people on board
the truck were trapped and running out of oxygen.
Nguyen Thi Phong said she hoped the UK authorities could help bring her
daughter's body home.

"The smugglers said that this was a ... safe route, that people would go by
airplane, car ... if I had known she would go by this route, I would not
have let her go," Pham said.
Nguyen Thi Phong said she is now dependent on the British and Vietnamese
authorities to bring home their daughter. Neither she or her husband know
whether they will ever get any of the money back they spent funding their
daughter's doomed journey.

Four people arrested
Much is still unclear about this tragedy, which came to light in the early
hours of Wednesday morning UK time, when paramedics were called to a truck
container at an industrial park outside London. Inside they found the bodies
of 31 men and eight woman, all believed to be either Chinese or Vietnamese
nationals.
UK police appear to have established that the truck and its container
followed two separate routes -- coming together towards the end of the
journey shortly before the grisly discovery.
They have arrested the truck driver, a 25-year-old Northern Irish man who
met the container near where it was discovered, having driven from Northern
Ireland via Wales. The container itself had traveled from the Belgian port
of Zeebrugge.
Three other people have also been arrested, as police in the UK and Belgium
continue their investigations.
They include a 48-year-old man in Northern Ireland, who was arrested on
suspicion of manslaughter and of conspiracy to traffic people in connection
to the investigation. A man and a woman, both 38 and from Warrington in
northern England, were arrested on suspicion of trafficking and manslaughter
, according to Essex Police.
The driver remains in custody on suspicion of murder, police said.
On Friday afternoon, more of the victims' bodies were transported from the
trailer to Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford for post-mortem examinations,
according to Britain's PA news agency.
"Formal identification processes will take place as well as the examinations
to establish the causes of their deaths," Pippa Mills, deputy chief
constable from Essex police, told reporters. "This process is likely to be a
lengthy one but it is crucial and we are working with her majesty's coroner
to ensure the dignity of the victims and the respect for their loved ones
is at the forefront of our investigation."
This week's investigation is a painful reminder of the tragic events in 2000
, when 58 Chinese migrants were found dead in a lorry in Dover.

人上一百，形形色色，追求不同，导致的结果也不同，这些人为了追求更好的生活或者
说更适合自己的生活而甘愿冒险，冒险有成功的自然也是有失败，个人的选择而已
