They found no signs of criminal activity or anything suspicious. The office shared its findings with the public and offered condolences to the man’s family and friends.
On November 16, the Ghent fire department searched the city’s waterways for the missing man but did not find him. Later, a sonar team from the Maritime Police discovered his body near the Willem I Quay. The public prosecutor’s office began an investigation and found no signs of foul play. An autopsy was done, and all results indicate that the man died in an accident.

Blimey, seems like the only thing faster than cyclists in Ghent is the way some folks can find themselves in a spot of bother! 🚴♂️💨 Can’t wait for the next six-day event—at this rate, they should start handing out life jackets instead of medals! 😬

A tragic reminder that even in cycling, not every “six-day” event ends with a happy pedal. Who knew nightlife could be such a risky business, eh? 🚴♂️🥴
