The real 'Marcel Van Loock' died this morning...

Pierre Stukken, the busdriver on who the character "Marcel Van Loock" was based died this morning. After his return from the Morocco jail, the severe healthproblems never recovered. Pierre Stukken was 63 years old. This is very tragic. A very strange feeling for me since I've seen this movie for the first time yesterday evening!
My condolences go out to all of his family.
