Body found after fire in derelict building in Birmingham
Fire crews say that it's too dangerous to retrieve the body
West Midlands Fire Service have confirmed that a body has been located inside the Soho Hill building to which they responded early this morning, and from which four other people were rescued.
They say that their thoughts are with everyone affected by this upsetting news.
The dangerous condition of the building means that firefighters and fire investigators have been unable to enter it. The entire first and second floors, plus the roof space, were involved in the fire.
They say they are working closely with West Midlands Police, the city council and the owner of the building to ensure that the building is safe before they can recover the body.
Local road closures remain in place for public safety.
