Request

Can you tell me how many of the 1,754 rescued (from BBC London article 25 July 2025) were trapped behind a toilet or bathroom door please? Further information on same data from 2020-2025 would be useful, broken down into years. If you can break it down into 'home' toilets/bathrooms and 'out of home' toilets/bathrooms please and whether someone was behind a closed door but was unfortunately deceased.
