The association has also announced a period of mourning, in which its building at Kromme Nieuwegracht will remain closed.
According to Veritas, Classen was “a social, funny, and cheerful guy”. Several media have reported his accidental death. He was said to have fallen down a ravine while hiking in the Appalachian mountains.
