British police have raised the death toll from Thursday’s bombing to 49 and the final total is expected to rise higher. Officials have only just begun identifying victims of the quadruple bombing that hit three subway cars and a double-decker bus during the morning commute on Thursday. “In total there are now 49 bodies in the mortuary. Body recovery teams continue to work through that train at Russell square,” British police detective Andy Trotter said yesterday. “They’ve worked through the front carriage, they’re now attempting to get through to the rear of the train, to see if there are any more bodies trapped underneath. As you can imagine the working conditions are extremely difficult.”
