LONDON – The Grenfell Tower fire was started by a faulty Hotpoint fridge, according to the Metropolitan Police.

In a statement on Friday, Scotland Yard’s Detective Superintendent Fiona McCormack said both the insulation and tiles used in cladding at the west London high-rise failed all safety tests.

The catastrophic Grenfell Tower blaze last week led to the death of at least 79 people, while many more were left homeless.
