To be more precise....

Fw. Alfred Miksch (JG1/JG3) crashed near the city of Bree and crashed in the Albert Canal according to wartime documents....He was buried indeed in St. Troud.

But there isn't an Albert Canal near Bree, so they have made a mistake in the name of this canal.

Most probably it was the Bocholt-Herentals Canal or Zuid- Willemsvaart which is situated directly near Bree where he crashed.

Miksch was found in his plane not badly injured. Most probably he broke his neck or drowned in the canal, after he had been shot down (he was trying to make a safetylanding).
