This would leave the total at around 600 (576) although authorities have no idea how many people were in their homes during the fire.
Kensington and Chelsea Council leader Nick Paget-Brown suggested, ‘several hundred would have been in there. It’s a question of establishing how many people were in there at the time of the fire''

I think the operative words there are the figure is unknown...the Asian man who was rescued was alone, I have seen a few families who have elderly/disabled relatives missing who lived alone, the young Italian couple who had just moved People seem to be assuming that all the flats were heaving with people, but the bedroom tax is a thing because people in social housing do have spare rooms especially if the lived there all their lives, some residents have formed groups now to see if the count is underestimated, I think it's difficult as people might have been staying over but equally residents might not have been in the building that night, and some are not coming forward for their own reasons
