[h=1]Canadian mom-of-two, Indian fashion designer and Bollywood director are named among the 39 victims of ISIS gunman who brought terror to Istanbul nightclub[/h]
Victims of the slaughter included a young Indian fashion designer, a Bollywood director and the daughter of a prominent Lebanese businessman.
As grieving relatives arrived in Turkey to take away their dead, just one of the 39 bodies remained unidentified this morning after police worked through the night with families of the deceased.
Among the dead at the Reina nightclub was the venue's head of security and a bus driver who unwittingly drove a group of partygoers to their deaths.

Canadian mom-of-two Alaa Al-Muhandis, from Milton, Ontario, also died in the attack
Among the dead were Abis Rizvi, 49, a Mumbai Bollywood producer who was in the midst of making his second film, and Khushi Shah, a fashion designer in her 20s from Vadodara, a city in the western Indian state of Gujarat.
The Indian government said it was making arrangements to help the families as they come to Turkey to collect the bodies.
Shah's family was said to be in 'total shock' today after revealing she had been in the city on business.

Club bouncer and mother-of-one Hatice Koc'un was among the 39 people who were gunned down in Istanbul. Turkish law requires a female guard be present to search women clubbers

Also named as a victim of the ISIS atrocity was 25-year-old Lebanese man Ilyas Vardini (pictured)
Leanne Nasser was on holiday with three female friends, all from the Arab-majority village of Tira in northern Israel, when she was killed
Rizvi, a 49-year-old builder, wrote, produced and directed a Bollywood movie 'Roar: The Tigers of Sunderbans,' in 2014 aimed at spreading awareness about tigers.
Today Turkish media reported that the gunman took a taxi to the venue, but got out of the cab due to traffic and walked the last four minutes to the scene.
In just five-and-a-half minutes, the killer used six magazines, totalling 120 bullets, to massacre his unarmed victims, Turkish media reported.
A local security specialist, Abdullah Agar, also said that CCTV footage of the attacker appeared to suggest that he had an old injury to his foot.
Among the first to be killed were the club's head of security, Fatih Cakmak, 35, who was shot dead on the steps of the venue. He had already had a brush with death last month, when he was working at Istanbul's Vodafone Arena as it was hit by a major bomb attack.
Ayhan Arik, who drove the bus that carried some of the victims to the club, was also killed in front of the entrance. He had two sons, and has already been laid to rest at a ceremony attended by his friends and family, at which his wife was reportedly so distressed that she was unable to stand.
