At least 78 homeless people died last winter, an average
of at least two a week. Those deaths include a quantum physicist, a former
soldier and a grieving 31-year-old who had lost both his mother and brother.
Some died in doorways, some in tents pitched in the snow, some died in shelters
and others passed away in hospital after a life on the streets. Many were rough
sleepers, others were statutory homeless and staying in temporary
accommodation. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism has surveyed dozens of
homeless charities, trawled local press reports and pieced together figures to
create a database of those deaths. Read more on the Homeless Link website.
