Missing thirty-something found dead after five days in the basement of the nightclub where he disappeared (Binnenland)

The body of 38-year-old Yves-Marie Umihire was found in Brussels on Tuesday evening. The man was reported missing by his family last weekend after he disappeared without a trace after an evening with friends in a nightclub. The first findings show that the man died after a fall from the stairs in the club.

Yves-Marie’s family raised the alarm on Christmas Eve when the man did not show up at the Christmas party in Asse. “At first we thought he was too late,” says Julie Roye, the girlfriend of Yves-Marie’s twin brother. “But then his friends informed us that they had not seen or heard from him since Thursday night. They had gone to a nightclub on Avenue Louise together, but Yves-Marie disappeared around 2 a.m..”

Found in nightclub

The police were called in, but to no avail. On Tuesday evening, the family received the message that Yves-Marie’s body had been found in the nightclub where he had disappeared on Thursday. The first findings show that he died after a fall down the stairs.

It is striking that the body of the thirty-something was only found five days after his disappearance in the same nightclub where he disappeared. According to our information, that’s because the man ended up in a part of the basement where the staff rarely go.

“He Has Not Suffered”

Brother Yves Umugisha reacts dejectedly to the news, but says he is grateful to everyone who helped with the search and offered support to the family. “Fortunately, my brother didn’t suffer,” he says. “Those who want to say their last greetings can do so this afternoon at the Sint-Elizabeth hospital in Uccle from 3.30 p.m. to 7 p.m..”
