Gerwin Visser, known from the radio station FunX, drowned while on vacation in Costa Rica, as reported by the radio station on Instagram. On Wednesday evening, the 25-year-old FunX employee was swimming but “failed to reach the shore independently.” His best friend called emergency services, who arrived too late.
His body was found on the beach the following morning after a stormy night with poor visibility and strong winds. FunX stated that his loss leaves a significant void among his family, friends, and colleagues, and he will be greatly missed.
