On Saturday January 1, in an apartment in Lanaken, a 39-year-old man was found dead by his friends. They had celebrated New Years Eve together the day before. Due to the young age of the victim, the Lanaken-Maasmechelen (LaMa) police and the Limburg prosecutor’s office feared an unusual death. And this Thursday, the Limburg public prosecutor’s office announced that a number of arrests have been made in the meantime. “The Attorney General is warning that there are potentially dangerous ecstasy pills in circulation,” press secretary Katrien Truyen said.
The forensic science laboratory and the Louvain interception team went there to carry out the necessary investigations on New Year’s Day. Last Sunday, the body was subjected to an autopsy in Leuven. “From the first findings of the medical examiner, it appeared that a combination of alcohol and drugs was the cause of death,” says Katrien Truyen. “Several arrests have been made in the meantime. The case is still ongoing. We would also like to add that dangerous ecstasy pills may be in circulation. “
