| 释义 |
The Higüey Prison fire occurred on March 7, 2005, at Higüey Prison in Higüey, Dominican Republic. The prison was claimed to be overcrowded at the time of the fire, housing 400 inmates but designed to house only 180.[1] In all, 136 prisoners died.[2] Among those killed was Edwin Adams Cotto. The fire's cause was variously attributed to an inmate riot, guards firing tear gas, or a prisoner setting fire to a mattress.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.mb.com.ph/node/115511 |title=134 dead in prison fire and riot in Dominican Republic |publisher= The Manila Bulletin |date=2005-03-09 |accessdate=2012-02-16}} {{coord missing|Dominican Republic}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Higuey Prison fire}}{{disaster-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|last=Associated |first=The |url=http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/worlds-deadliest-prison-fires-15637303#.TzwOWlwV18E |title=Some of World's Deadliest Prison Fires |publisher=Abcnews.go.com |date= |accessdate=2012-02-16}} 6 : 2005 in the Dominican Republic|Arson in North America|Mass murder in 2005|Building and structure fires|Fires in the Dominican Republic|La Altagracia Province |
