The Yilan County Fire Department received a report at 11:35 on the night of the 14th that a woman and four men were camping in a mountainous area. One of them was injured due to a fall and required an ambulance. The fire department immediately dispatched people to rescue.
After the ambulance personnel and the reporter inquired about the situation in detail, friends who were traveling with him said that the five people went up the mountain to hunt. When they walked into the mountain for about 30 minutes, it was suspected that the road was slippery due to rain. Zhuo accidentally fired the shotgun. There was a bullet hole in his right armpit and the steel ball was still in his body.
Since vehicles could not arrive at the scene and could only be transported by manpower, the fire station immediately sent additional people and vehicles to assist in the rescue. It was not until 3 a.m. on the 15th that Zhuo was sent to the road, but Zhuo had lost signs of life.
The ambulance personnel immediately performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation and administered first aid electric shock, and then sent Zhuo to the hospital. Unfortunately, after resuscitation, Zhuo was pronounced dead at 4:30 a.m. on the 15th.
