Because he was perceived to be wearing a "rucksack and bomb belt" and wiring was visible under his clothes, the body was not approached until the bomb squad of the Belgian Army, DOVO, arrived with a robot to inspect the body and confirm his death.
Karena ia dicurigai mengenakan "tas dan sabuk bom" dan kabel-kabel dapat terlihat di balik pakaiannya, jasad pelaku tidak didekati hingga pasukan penjinak bom dari Angkatan Darat Belgia, DOVO, tiba yang kemudian menggunakan robot untuk memeriksa jasad pelaku dan mengkonfirmasi kematiannya.
