      - There's been previous enquiries over the years which were pretty much cover ups and it's taken families of the victims this long to get this result. - LMS Jun 28, 07:39 1
        
        They reopened the death inquiry when it was proved the medical examiner signed death certs for victims hours before they actually passed -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 28, 20:42
