Urgent appeals are underway to find the relatives of seven men and women who died alone.
Merseyside Police has released the names of each person, on behalf of the coroner's office, but searches to find their next of kin have so far drawn a blank.
Today The ECHO can publish the names of the people who have died in the hope of finding their families so they can attend their funerals.
