It's been two weeks since a major fire ripped through a heritage building in the heart of Old Montreal, killing seven people and forever altering the lives of families across the globe.

In the days following the tragedy, the victims' families had been agonizing as they desperately waited for news about their missing loved ones.

The last two of the seven victims were officially identified Tuesday. Among the deceased are a renowned photographer, a neuroscientist from the U.S. and two teenagers from the Greater Montreal Area.

The March 16 fire has raised several unanswered questions about fire safety in the Place d'Youville building that housed illegal short-term rentals.

A father of one of the victims said his 18-year-old daughter made two 911 calls reporting the unit she was in had no windows to escape from, while another survivor of the fire has said she didn't hear the fire alarm go off in her semi-basement unit.

Now that the bodies have been recovered, Montreal police, which are leading the probe into the fatal fire, are turning their focus to finding the cause of the blaze and the circumstances that led up to it.

For the families of those who died, the grieving process is only starting.
