Vincent Chiejina, 60, and Joseph Daniels, 69, died in their living rooms on 14 June 2017.
Vulnerable residents died alone in their living rooms in the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the inquiry has heard.
Mr Chiejina had lived at a mental health centre for 15 years because of his schizophrenia, she said, before moving into flat 144 on the 17th floor of the North Kensington tower in February 2001. Mr Chiejina's family reported him as missing to a police station on 14 June and spent five days searching hospitals for him, before they were informed of his death on 19 June.On the floor below, Sam Daniels, who grew up in Grenfell Tower, was forced to leave his father behind after he could not carry him down the stairs alone.
The inquiry heard a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan - which is recommended for disabled residents - had never been considered for Mr Daniels.Sam Daniels had also requested adjustments to his father's flat such as handrails, which he never received. Firefighters tried to find Mr Daniels, but after helping another resident on the 16th floor, believed their work was done and stopped searching for him.
