Body of missing diver (66) Vinkeveense Plassen found - Netherlands News Live

On Friday, after an extensive search, the body of the missing diver from The Hague was found. “The police have conducted an extensive investigation and have ruled out a crime,” the police said Friday afternoon.

Been missing for a week
The 66-year-old man from The Hague has been missing since Friday 23 July. After his car was found near Zandeiland 4, the police and defense conducted a thorough search in and around the water. On Thursday, July 29, a visitor to the diving area gave a tip, which eventually led to the missing diver.


Diving area Sand Island released
The dive site was researched all day Friday. “It is not considered a crime to be the cause of death. Now that the investigation has been completed, the diving area has been reopened. You can dive again from July 31,” said the police.
