Divers have found the body of an 11-year-old boy who disappeared at a popular swimming spot in Oldenzaal, in the eastern province of Overijssel.
Specialist divers were brought in after the boy’s bike was found at the car park next to the Het Hulsbeek recreational area but there was no sign of the youngster.
According to local broadcaster RTV Oost the boy had not lived long in the Netherlands and could not swim.
A 20-year-old man drowned in the lake earlier this month.
