40 die in clashes in four Brazil prisons
[DAWN] At least 40 inmates were killed in four jails in northern Brazil on Monday, authorities said, in the latest wave of violence to rock the country’s severely overpopulated and dangerous prison system.
"Yep. At least forty!"
The victims appeared to have been killed by “asphyxiation,” the Amazonas state government said in a statement, a day after 15 people were killed in one of the prisons.
"Whaddya mean by 'asphyxiation?'"
"They stopped breathing."

Officials had initially put the number of dead at 42, but later revised the number to 40 without explanation.
"Forty two..."
"Hey! Wait a minute! I ain't dead!"
"Me, neither!"
"... forty people dead..."
