On Sunday, April 6, an 18-year-old resident died in a care institution in Wognum. The police, under the direction of the Public Prosecution Service of North Holland, is investigating the circumstances surrounding the death in the institution. Such a death investigation is customary when someone dies while being entrusted to the care of others.
Previous reporting on this incident only related to the role of the police, who responded that evening to a report to support staff at the care institution. A parallel investigation is taking place regarding the actions of the involved police officers by the National Criminal Investigation Department. This is customary when someone dies and the police are involved as a party.
Both investigations are led by the Public Prosecution Service of North Holland, which is also responsible for communication. As soon as the findings of the investigation warrant it, the Public Prosecution Service will communicate again.
