The reality of the tragedy hits home as families surround loved ones in hospitals, while heartbroken mothers and fathers gather at the city morgue as tragic victims start to be identified using dental records and items of jewellery.

The authorities conduct a heartless identification process, which they want to end on Sunday evening, February 15, but extend it until 5.30pm on Tuesday. Five of the 44 confirmed dead wouldn’t be identified by this deadline and would remain unidentified for 26 years. Four more would die in hospital in the days and weeks that followed.

The Stardust Tragedy is brought to you by the Irish Sun. The series is produced by Urban Media.
