The lifeless body of a diver was found this Sunday morning at the Lacs de l'Eau d'Heure site in Boussu-lez-Walcourt. The man in his fifties was very experienced.

He had dived into the water around 9:30 am. But his body was discovered a few minutes later lying along the bank. The exact causes of death are not yet known. The prosecution had to go there.

The Hainaut-Est rescue zone indicates that research is currently being carried out on the spot for the possible presence of a second diver. "We do not have confirmation but it is very rare to see a diver make a trip alone," said the spokesman for the area.

Another article seems to be about the same incident but behind a pay wall.

I was certified in Belgium, you would never know it with it being generally cold all year long. My heart goes out to his family.
