The Pinczowski family received devastating news Friday — brother and sister Alexander and Sascha Pinczowski were among those killed during Tuesday's terrorist attacks in Brussels. Belgian authorities and the Dutch Embassy told the family that their remains were positively identified.
The father of Alexander's fiancé issued a statement, on behalf of the Pinczowski family, saying they are "grateful to have closure on this tragic situation."
Alexander and Sascha were reportedly in the Delta Air Lines ticket line, preparing to check into their flight to New York City, when the bombs went off. Alexander was reportedly talking to his mother on the phone when the line went dead. Alexander and Sascha were Dutch nationals but had reportedly lived in New York for some time.
