Personal life

Dumortier married at Utrecht City Hall in 1944 Everdina Abrahamse.[3]

Dumortier became proprietor of a cigar shop in Utrecht. He died during a bombing raid at the end of the Second World War, and shortly before his city was liberated from German occupation, when he was being hospitalised for diphtheria - during the raid the Germans allegedly turned off the electricity (by other accounts a power failure) which cut power to his iron lung. He is buried at the Tolsteeg Cemetery.[3]
