My remarks:
De Waal is a major river in the Netherlands, on which ships travel between Rotterdam harbor and the industrial Ruhr area in Germany. Dodewaard is circa 40 kilometer (25 miles) downstream from the German border. I suspect the man might have been in the water for a while (they show no picture of him), could be that he drifted from Germany
