LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson says the death of 39 people whose bodies were found in the back of a truck is an "unimaginable tragedy and truly heartbreaking."
Johnson told lawmakers in the House of Commons that he is receiving regular updates on the case.
Britain's interior minister, Priti Patel, is due to update lawmakers on the tragedy later.
