Identifying Toronto van attack victims could take days

Ontario’s chief coroner is still in the process of identifying the victims of Monday’s van attack in north-end Toronto.

Dirk Huyers says the process could take days and is complicated by of the size of the crime scene.

The attack took place over a one-kilometre stretch of one of the city’s busiest streets.

None of the victims have been formally identified.

According to family and friends, the dead include 80-year-old grandmother Dorothy Sewell, Chul Min “Eddie” Kang, a chef and former Mohawk College student and Anne Marie D’Amico, who worked at an investment firm.

Ten people were killed and 14 were injured when a van plowed into pedestrians on the sidewalk on Yonge St. Monday afternoon.

Alek Minassian, 25, of Richmond Hill was charged yesterday with 10 counts of first-degree murder and 13 counts of attempted murder.

An additional count of attempted murder is expected.

Minassian has another court appearance scheduled next month.
