Two hundred and thirty-two people were killed in the city of Santa Maria, Brazil, when Kiss caught on fire, early Sunday morning.
Hundreds more were injured, and at least one hundred and thirty are still in the hospital.
Somewhere around twelve hundred people were in the club for a popular band's concert.
Police have arrested a band member for lighting a pyrotechnic device, which started the fire.
The promoter of the event and both of the night club's owners were also arrested.
It has been revealed that the club's business license and fire inspection license had both expired.
Witnesses say there were no emergency exits, leaving the entrance as the only way out.
Authorities are continuing their investigation of the club and the tragedy.
