LONDON – London police on Saturday raised to 58 the number of deaths either confirmed or presumed following the horrific inferno that turned the city’s Grenfell Tower public housing block into a charred hulk. Police Commander Stuart Cundy said the number of 58 is based on reports from the public and may rise. It includes 30 deaths that already have been confirmed, and reports of people who are missing and presumed to have been killed. “Sadly, at this time there are 58 people who we have been told were in the Grenfell Tower on the night that are missing. Police say the harrowing search for remains had paused Friday because of safety concerns at the blackened tower but has resumed.
