The Bureau’s count of people who have died homeless in
the UK since last winter has now passed 500 - days before the Office for
National Statistics (ONS) is due to produce its first ever count of deaths. Our
year-long investigation, currently stands at 554 deaths, though that is likely
an underestimate. Those that died include an 81 year-old man who was sleeping
on the streets, a mum of two that died in a night shelter and a 47 year-old man
who died after being tipped into a bin lorry. The project prompted the ONS to
start compiling its own figures on homeless deaths in England and Wales, which
it will release on December 20. Scotland and Northern Ireland’s national
records offices are now also considering similar counts. Read more on the
Bureau of Investigative Journalism website.
