More than one homeless person dies every day in the UK, study finds More than one homeless person died every day in the UK over the last 12 months, according to a new study.
A physicist, a former soldier and a travelling musician were among the 449 deaths recorded since October 2017, including 14 in one week alone.
Experts described the statistic as a “national scandal” and placed the blame on welfare cuts, high rents and a lack of social housing.
The true death toll is likely to be significantly higher, according to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, which produced the database with the help of Channel 4 news, local journalists, charities and grassroots outreach groups. The Independent
