More details released about Belgian soldier ‘Mark’ (22) who died in Lithuania: “He never hesitated to do dirty work”

On Saturday, a 22-year-old Belgian soldier died in Lithuania from injuries he sustained during an exercise with mortars. Minister of Defense Theo Francken and Chief of Defense, General Pilot Frederik Vansina, confirm this. An investigation has been launched into the cause of his death. “At first glance he was a timid young man, but turned out to be an eternal team player, always motivated, and often far too polite,” said Fabrice Debersaques, his chief of police from Brasschaat.
