Follow our live updates on this incident The force declared a major incident after the human remains were discovered, more than two months after huge blaze ripped through the building in May. At that time of the fire, it was believed no-one was inside. A local resident at the scene today said he saw cannabis being grown inside the building before the blaze. He said: "This was from the fire two months ago, I was on there collecting scrap metal and I found a cannabis grow, I saw it all.
The building first went up in flames in the early hours of May 7. It completely tore through the building and took fire crews a number of days to put out. These are 'the correct procedures that are followed in situations like this' he said but he confirmed they would now be reviewing their response to the incident in order to be "absolutely certain'.
