		</div><p>One of the youngest victims of the Grenfell Tower tragedy choked to death on fumes from the fire, an inquest heard.</p>
<p>The body of five-year-old Isaac Paulos, who lived with his family on the 18th floor, was found on the 13th floor, Westminster Coroner&#8217;s Court was told.</p>
<p>The youngster, who vanished in the dense fumes as his family attempted to escape the blaze, had to be identified by his dental records.</p>
<p>Westminster coroner Dr Fiona Wilcox opened and adjourned the inquests of four people including Isaac on Monday. Coroner&#8217;s officer Eric Sword told the short hearing Isaac&#8217;s preliminary cause of death had been given as &#8220;inhalation of fire fumes&#8221;.</p>
<p>Dr Wilcox told the court she had met with his parents and passed on her condolences to them.</p>
<p>She added that some 18 of the at least 79 victims had so far been formally identified.</p>
<p>Dr Wilcox told the inquest the investigation was extremely challenging.</p>
<p>She said: <i>&#8220;I have now formally identified 18 people who have died within this tower block and the tragic fire incident.</p>
<p>&#8220;There are many outstanding identifications still to come.</p>
<p>&#8220;It can&#8217;t really be explained in enough detail how complex an investigation this is in terms of identification and in terms of recovery of bodies on a dangerous site that my team are not allowed to enter because the building is being shored up.&#8221;</i></p>

<p>The other three victims whose inquests were opened included artist Khadija Saye, 24.</p>
<p>The artist, hailed as a &#8220;wonderful young woman&#8221; by Tottenham MP David Lammy, was due to appear on a BBC documentary about her work, which was on show in Venice as part of a collection on the theme of diaspora.</p>
<p>The inquest heard Miss Saye, also known as Ya-Haddy Sisi Saye, was found on a hallway on the ninth floor, 11 floors below her 20th floor home.</p>
<p>The heard was told her preliminary cause of death was &#8220;inhalation of fire fumes and burns&#8221;.</p>
<p>The inquest of her mother, Mary Ajaoi Augustus Mendy, was also opened.</p>
<p>The body of Ms Mendy, 54, also known as Sissy Mendy, was found on the 13th floor.</p>
<p>Her provisional cause of death was &#8220;fire fumes, pending further investigation&#8221;, Mr Sword told the inquest.</p>
<p>She was also identified via dental records.</p>
<p>The fourth inquest was that of Mohamednur Tuccu, 44, whose body was recovered from close to the nearby leisure centre.</p>
<p>He had been reported missing alongside his wife Amalahmedin and his three-year-old daughter after visiting relatives in Grenfell Tower, his employer previously said.<br />
His provisional cause of death was also inhalation of fire fumes.</p>
