    The coroner ordered a single consolidated inquest for the 39 deaths, directed the police to provide the full death investigation report by early June 2024, required a second pre-inquest review within two months of receiving the report and in any event no later than September 2024, and directed disclosure of the proposed witness list, written statements, expert reports and other evidence at least 21 days before the second review; the proceeding is investigatory and may result in preventive recommendations but will not determine civil or criminal liability.
