警察认为货车的牵引部分-货车的前半段-从（爱尔兰的）都柏林来，周日通过威尔士的Holyhead（港口名）进入英国。拖车部分从比利时的Zeebrugge港口沿泰晤士河于周三英国标准时间凌晨12点半到达Purfleet（地名）。货车和拖车停留不久于当天的凌晨一点过五分离开Purfleet港口。救护车人员于半小时之后在Waterglade（英国地名）工业园的集装箱中发现尸体，刚过凌晨一点半。

"They have met with the local police, who said that they are verifying the identity of the 39 deceased, whose nationality still cannot be confirmed."

Thurrock保守党议员Jackie Doyle-Price表示需要国际支援。“我们有相关的国际关系但这些关系需要重启，这是一次黑帮赚黑心钱的国际犯罪，只有所有的国家一起协作处理这些问题才能止住这个问题。”
