6 people confirmed dead

The Met Police has confirmed that six people were killed and the number is expected to rise.
Commander Stuart Cundy, from the Metropolitan Police, said: “Our thoughts are with everyone involved in this truly shocking fire at Grenfell Tower.

“I can confirm six fatalities at this time but this figure is likely to rise during what will be a complex recovery operation over a number of days. Many others are receiving medical care.”

Expect much worse. Firefighters are only now beginning to enter the building to start sifting through debris.
