Victim Gilbert HELEDT (85)-From East Flanders, but living in Sint-Agatha-Berchem-went shopping there on March 8. When he finished his groceries, he went to the cash register to stand in line. At that moment he realized that he had forgotten something from the store shelves. He left his cart in line and went back to the racks to get the forgotten product quickly.
