A few days following his disappearance, Joran Steenwinckel, a young man of 25, was found dead, police said. This young resident of Hoegaarden had been missing since the night of January 18 to 19.
Since then, intense research had taken place, without success. This Saturday, dozens of people had gathered once more to carry out a search.
This Sunday, the police confirmed that the body of the young man had been found lifeless. “He has found peace,” announced the young Flemish’s grandfather in a message on Facebook.
The causes of his death remain undetermined.
