Death

Gadenne died on 11 September, 2017 at the age of 71 after having his throat slashed at a graveyard close to his home in Mouscron. Local news outlets at first reported that a suspect handed himself in to police and that the motive was unclear.[1] The next day an 18-year-old man told police he killed Gadenne avenging the death of his father, who killed himself in 2015 after losing his job as a local council employee.[2]
