On 25 January 2025, at 4.40pm, the skeleton of a woman was found on the towpath along the Centre Canal, near Rue Hector Ameye in La Louvière. To date, the identity of this woman is unknown.

She was believed to be between 25 and 35 years old. She was about 1m66 tall and had incomplete and unkempt teeth. She had dark brown hair at the roots and mahogany brown hair at the tips.

She wore black imitation leather leggings with the image of a snowflake on the right front pocket, a black hoodie of the brand ‘Basic By NPO’, a dark blue short-sleeved T-shirt with white lines of the brand ‘Pull and Bear’ (size L) and beige and white trainers of the brand ‘New Yorker’ (size 38).

This is very strange. They found a skeleton on the towpath? How could that happen?
The area and the towpath part of the town, there are houses and streets next to it. The location looks like a place where people walk their dogs, or take a walk without a dog. A parking place for various cars is nearby.
IMO the remains of that unfortunate woman did not become skeletonized on that location.

Did you manage to find more info, @anijs6 ?

Indeed, very strange. Both the police and the press talk about a skeleton in Dutch and French.

Sudinfo says: “A partially clothed human skeleton was found in an advanced state of decomposition.” So that indeed suggests she has been deceased for some time, also considering the weather in January.

She looks like she could have been homeless or from the substance abuse scene - especially her teeth point to that. I also believe she may not have been Belgian but was an immigrant, maybe Southeast Europe/Balkans/Bulgaria, maybe Romani.

I hope she can get her name back. She had a family, friends, maybe children.
