A total of 45 victims of the Grenfell Tower tragedy have now been identified.

The inquests of three further victims were opened at Westminster Coroner’s Court on Monday.

Dr Fiona Wilcox has now opened and adjourned a total of 41 inquests, all of which she has suspended while a public inquiry and criminal investigation are carried out.

Further inquests are expected to be opened later this week.

As family members listened on, the court heard how Eslah Elgwahry, 64, was found on the 23rd floor of the tower block and had to be identified by her dental records. It is believed she lived on the 19th floor.

Meanwhile, Joseph Daniels, 69, was found on the 16th floor of the building. He was identified by DNA.

The inquest of a third victim, a 35-year-old woman whose family asked for her not to be named, was also opened on Monday.

She was discovered on the 23rd floor of Grenfell Tower.

The preliminary cause of death for all three victims was recorded as “consistent with the effects of fire”.

Dr Wilcox offered her “sincere condolences” to all of those touched by the deaths.

At least 80 people are thought to have died when the blaze ripped through the 24-storey block on June 14.
