Missing since Wednesday evening, Yannick Specks, from Olne, was found drowned

The lifeless body of Yannick Specks was found late Thursday evening. His family had not heard from him since Wednesday evening. "He left his home in a quad to join his daughter who was stranded at home in Olne", testifies a friend of the victim.

This one, in fact, had launched a call on Facebook on Wednesday morning: "We have been stuck on the 2nd floor since yesterday, it is becoming urgent! Too much current to be able to swim across."

"In a quad, he took the road to the Vesdre valley", continues the friend. "It was there, on the Nationale between Trooz and Chaudfontaine, that we found him this Thursday, late in the evening."

The 50-year-old was a technical director in a construction company.

His family is obviously in shock. We send him our most sincere condolences.
