How to find out about a fatal boating accident in Holland?

Sorry just to pop up and ask this (I have been very busy at work...)

I heard via my son's Facebook connections that an old friend (he was in fact one of my PhD supervisors and a witness at my wedding, but we had lost touch) was killed in a boating accident in Rotterdam on September 30th. I don't know what sort of boat it was or whether it was at sea or inland.

If it had been in the UK, we could have looked up MAIB reports, local press etc - but we (Jim has done most of the looking) haven't been able to find anything about what actually happened.

Is there a Dutch equivalent to MAIB or some other avenue we could pursue to fill in the gaps? I don't want to go badgering his family as we hadn't been in touch for about fifteen years, but I liked him a great deal and would - for some reason - like to find out what happened.

Dutch Safety Board??

I haven' searched for the incident in question though.
