        Trust me people. You really don't want to know what is involved forensics wise to make a formal and legal identification. Let it go.

        Anyone else think that the slow climb of the number of deaths is a ploy to make the final number less shocking??

        Heartbreaking and maddening, the horror that these victims endured before they passed, too disturbing to imagine, too frightening to forget.

        Finally a number approaching the truth and an admission that there are probably more.

        Stop these stupid conspiracy theories. It's always case that initial nos are lower- they have to confirm who's missing find burnt bodies etc

        When police released lower nos they always made clear it was likely to rise as bodies found. In bad fires it takes a long time. You insult

        the emergency services by implying they've been lying & have been "finally" forced to admit a higher number.

        Not insulting the em. services nor hinting a conspiracy, reason it's taken so long is more 2 do with lack of manpower on ground due to cuts.

        No it's not due to cuts. It's due to the extreme danger & difficulty of dealing with a burnt out highrise where floors need shoring up.
