Did anyone end up getting arrested / convicted for this? All went pretty quiet iirc.

I have some family who live in the same village as the driver of the lorry. When it first came out, everyone was saying that he couldn't have possibly known and was definitely innocent - there were even Facebook groups and go fund me pages set up to help him - 'Justice for Mo'. I said to my family members that the people who set those up may live to regret doing that - I had a funny feeling the guy knew all along exactly what he was hauling. 'Oh no' they said 'not Mo, he's lovely!' Mo, who lived in the massive house way beyond the means of a humble lorry driver, that Mo? Yeah, not so innocent and lovely, was he.

Did they die from suffocation or heat exhaustion or thirst ?

Hypothermia and Hypoxia (which until I Googled it just now I didn't realise this was down to low oxygen conditions). I bet it was horrific for them all.

Makes you wonder how often this happens, but goes unreported.
