Memorials Held in Brazil for Victims of Nightclub Fire

Posted: Updated:

(KCEN) -- The city of Santa Maria, Brazil is holding remembrances all weekend for the victims of last week's nightclub fire.

At one Catholic mass a bell was rung each time the name of a victim was read out loud.  

The fire killed 236 people most of whom died from smoke inhalation.

More than a hundred people remain in the hospital dozens of them in critical condition.

Investigators believe the blaze started when a band performing at the club lit a flare which ignited soundproofing foam on the ceiling.
