More than 200 die in inferno

A woman cries over the coffin of her boyfriend at a gymnasium where bodies were brought for identification in Santa Maria city, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil, Sunday. They were both at the Kiss nightclub when flames raced through the crowded club in southern Brazil early Sunday, killing more than 200 people as panicked partygoers gasped for breath in the smoke-filled air, stampeding toward a single exit partially blocked by those already dead.  Brazilian police officials said Monday they've made three detentions and are seeking a fourth person in connection with a blaze.
