Two other people were hospitalized: a man who apparently managed to leave the lab in time and had to be resuscitated on site, as well as a woman who was staying in an apartment adjoining the laboratory.
Belgium, major hub for cocaine and speed production according to report
The production of synthetic drugs, such as Ecstasy and amphetamines, is a specialty of Dutch criminal groups. Laboratories are more and more regularly established throughout Flanders. It is in Limburg and in the province of Antwerp that we discover the most. Production is very dangerous, whether due to the risk of explosion, fumes or very toxic waste, which are left nearby or in nature.
Three people were already found dead in January 2019 in a clandestine laboratory in Limburg.
The lab was located in a building with an apartment, a pizzeria and a former drinks depot. He was at the back of the building. The owner explained to Het Laatste Nieuws that, around twenty days ago, he had rented a 200 m² space to a Dutchman, whose name or telephone number he knew neither. According to him, he had given her the key before signing the rental contract, scheduled in a few days.
The cause of death of the three victims, whose identities and ages were not communicated by the prosecution, has not yet been determined with certainty. However, she recalls a similar accident that occurred on January 29, 2019 in Limburg. Three men, aged 22, 23 and 25, died of carbon monoxide poisoning in a clandestine laboratory in Hechtel-Eksel (Limburg). They were staying there. The alert was then given by an unknown person to the Dutch emergency services. The man invited people to go to the building where the paramedics made the macabre discovery.
