For all that fire in 1666, that destroyed 90% of London homes, the death toll reported is extraordinarily low. It wasn't really recorded for the amount of people that truly died that day. Many people have pointed out that the deaths of the poor and middle-class people living in the city were probably never recorded. Officials back then didn't sort through bones and fragments of charred bodies of the middle and lower class, and so the number isn't truly known. Neil Hanson writes in his book, The Great Fire of London: In That Apocalyptic Year, 1666 that, "several hundred and quite possibly several thousand" people likely died in the fire.
