Plastic surgery chief Dr. Juan Carlos Funez says 24-year-old Jose Bonilla died late Friday in the Hospital de Escuela in Tegucigalpa, suffering burns over 70 percent of his body.

Fire swept through the overcrowded dormitories of Comayagua prison north of Tegucigalpa late Tuesday. Witnesses say a guard with the keys failed to open the cells, leaving hundreds of screaming men to burn or suffocate to death.
