Friends of the late Orlando Boldewijn organized a commemoration meeting in the Ypenburg district in The Hague for Tuesday afternoon. The gathering will happen at 5:30 p.m. on the spot where Orlando's body was found on Monday, Omroep West reports.

The 17-year-old Rotterdam boy disappeared on February 18th. He never came home after a date in The Hague. On Monday divers removed Orlando's body from the Böttgerwater in Ypenburg. They searched the water based on "specific information" the police received, according to NU.nl. 

An autopsy will be done on Orlando's body to determine how he died.
