Nice death toll reaches 84; killer identified.
At least 84 people are dead, including 10 children, and up to 202 more — including three Australians — are injured following a terrorist attack in Nice, France.
As many as 52 more people are in critical condition, and 25 of those are in intensive care, BuzzFeed News reports.
The attack occurred just after 11pm local time (7:48am AEST) on 14 July, when a lorry accelerated into crowds of thousands during a Bastille Day celebration in the southern city.
The driver, who has been named by the Paris prosecutor as 31-year-old French Tunisian Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, was shot dead at the scene.
French police have been searching Bouhlel’s home.
“Investigations are currently under way to establish if the individual acted alone or if he had accomplices who might have fled,” interior ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brander said, according to ABC News.

Bouhlel's ex-wife has been arrested and held in custody, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said.
A French flag is currently flying over Sydney harbour in solidarity, as France observes three days of national mourning.
Other Australian landmarks including the Victorian parliament, Adelaide town hall, Perth Council House and Brisbane City Hall have also lit up in blue, red, and white.
