The Metropolitan Police say the missing person count in the tragic high-rise fire in London has risen to more than 58, as reported yesterday. 

We're told those people are likely dead. 

Commander Stuart Cundy said the victims' bodies might have been so badly damaged in the flames that identification will be impossible. 

The Metropolitan Police also released never-before-seen photos showing the extent of the destruction. 

The British Government has announced the residents who were left homeless by fire will get 5,500 euros from an emergency fund.

The Grenfell Tower Fire happened last Wednesday, June 14.
