Body of second missing diver found in Zeeland lake

The body of the second of two divers that went missing in the Grevelingenmeer on Saturday, was found on Monday afternoon. Like the body of the first diver, divers from the Royal Netherlands Navy found this man's body in a shipwreck, RTV Rijnmond reports.

The two divers went into the water at Kloosternol harbor in Scharendijke on Saturday. They told a restaurant owner at the harbor that they were diving to a shipwreck. When they hadn't returned by 10:30 p.m., the restaurant owner called emergency services.

The diver found on Monday is a 48-year-old man from Zoetermeer. The first diver's body was found late on Sunday evening.
