Hong Kong police have confirmed that 168 people died in the massive blaze that ripped through an apartment complex in Hong Kong last November - seven more than previously announced.
HONG KONG - The death toll from a fire at a residential complex in Hong Kong has risen to 168 from 161, officials said Thursday, after the remains of more victims were identified seven weeks after the Chinese territory’s worst blaze in decades.
The Nov. 26 fire at Wang Fuk Court killed 110 women and 58 men ages 6 months to 98 years old, Hong Kong police said in a statement Thursday night. Four people were declared dead after they were taken to the hospital, while the remains of the 164 others were recovered at the scene.
All sets of remains have been identified and all families have been notified, and there are no more missing persons unaccounted for, police said.
Few of the victims have been publicly named. They include Ho Wai-ho, 37, a firefighter, and 10 foreign domestic workers — nine from Indonesia and one from the Philippines — who were identified by their governments.
Chinese-language newspaper Ming Pao is ceasing Canadian operations at the end of the month. As JP Gallardo explains, the paper served a vital role in the Chinese-Canadian community.
