Bodies 'turned into ash', police say as many missing in Hong Kong fire

Hong Kong police continued to sweep the seven towers engulfed in Wednesday's disaster at the Wang Fuk Court estate, finding bodies of residents in stairwells and on rooftops, trapped as they tried to flee the flames. "Some of the bodies have turned into ash, therefore we might not be able to locate all missing individuals," Tsung Shuk Yin, a police official told reporters on Monday (December 1), choking up with emotion.
