Official number of fatal victims in the nightclub fire in Brazil fell from 245 to 231, after Police revised the counting of bodies. The police, however, say they finish retrieving, counting and identification of the corpses.

Most of the victims were young students and, according to Police chief Sandro Luís Meinerz, they were killed by inhaling toxic fume from the burning of the acoustic insulation, rather than the fire itself.

He also said all the bodies are in good conditions for identification.

The fire at The Kiss nightclub in the university town of Santa Maria, was the biggest in the State of Rio Grande do Sul and the second Brazilian history.
