Written by camilla on September 29, 2009 – 2:14 am -Findings from the Coronial Inquest were handed down today in the case of Leigh Sinclair and Christopher Giorgi who died when the Brunswick rooming house in which they were staying caught fire in the early hours of the morning on 1 October 2006. Five other people escaped the building with their lives. This fire and the deaths of Leigh Sinclair and Christopher Giorgi raised a raft of broader issues around rooming house regulation and the lack of safe and affordable housing which led to these preventable deaths.
