Jürgen Conings, a 46-year-old shooting instructor, was found dead in a wooded area near the Dutch border. Conings, who was on a watch-list for suspected extremists, had issued threats, including against the expert who led Belgium's response to Covid-19. Hundreds of officers had been deployed in the month-long manhunt. Prosecutors confirmed that the body found in the Hoge Kempen National Park near the town of Dilsen-Stockemon on Sunday was that of Conings, who had disappeared on 17 May. They say the initial observations suggest he had taken his own life.
