At least 90 people have died from smoke inhalation after a fire broke out at a nightclub in southern Brazil.
Around 200 others are being treated in several hospitals after the blaze in the city of Santa Maria in Rio Grande do Sul.
It is believed to have started at 2am after a pyrotechnic show for a local band at the Kiss nightclub.
The sound proofing of the building reportedly caught fire and smoke from this then asphyxiated victims.
The blaze spread quickly and produced a thick black smoke. One report said 200 people or more had died in the tragedy.
It is thought the venue only had one emergency exit and firefighters made a hole in the wall to help people escape.
Firefighters confirmed all the deaths were due to smoke inhalation.
"We have just taken the fire under control," Colonel Silvia Fuchs of the local fire department was quoted by Reuters as saying.
"Now we are removing the bodies."
