The 39 people who were found dead inside a container in Essex, UK, are believed to be Chinese nationals.
Authorities say that the deceased likely died of hypothermia inside the refrigerated container, where temperatures can be as low as -25C.
The lorry driver, a 25-year-old man from Northern Ireland identified as Mo Robinson, has been arrested and remains in custody, though there are questions about whether or not he was aware of the grim cargo in the back of the truck.
