Grenfell Tower death toll of 71 unlikely to rise as last inquests open

All bereaved families have had loved ones released back to them and most funerals have taken place, says coroner

The last two of the 70 inquests for victims of the Grenfell Tower fire were opened and adjourned on Wednesday with the coroner paying tribute to bereaved families and the "unrelenting work of dedicated professionals" who recovered and identified remains.

The Westminster coroner, Fiona Wilcox, who has presided over 19 hearings in the past five months, said the final inquests marked an important milestone.
