POLICE believe three more people may have died in the Morecambe Bay cockle tragedy
Twenty people are known to have died when they were caught in fast incoming tides off Hest Bank in February.
But now three Chinese families have contacted police to say they had relatives working in Morecambe at the time who have not been heard from since.
Officers are travelling to China on Wednesday to try to confirm the identities of all the dead.
