An 11-year old girl is the latest identified victim of the June fire that gutted Grenfell Tower in London, The Independent reported. An inquest identified Fatima Choucair by her dental records after she was found on the building’s 22nd floor. Previous inquests identified her 13-year-old sister Mierna, their parents, and their grandmother, who were also found on the 22nd floor. Officials also identified 2-year old Jeremiah Deen this week, believing him to be the youngest victim of the fire which killed at least 80 people. Coroner Fiona Wilcox told the hearing that “identifications are becoming increasingly difficult.”
