Missing man found dead in Waalwijk surf pond | Inland

The body was discovered by a sonar boat around 11 a.m. and divers pulled it out of the water around noon, the spokeswoman said.

A search was also underway on Tuesday evening, after the emergency services were warned around 9 p.m. by visitors to the Surfvijver. According to a spokesperson for the Central and West Brabant Security Region, they had seen someone swimming behind an air mattress. That person then disappeared under water.

Although it was initially unclear whether anyone was really missing, a search was launched. The emergency services also managed to find the group that the missing person belonged to. According to the spokeswoman, it was about Poland. That group confirmed that one of their friends had not resurfaced. After two hours of searching, in which no one was found, the search was called off late at night because it became too dark.
