A day of violent armed rioting at a prison in southwest Ecuador on Sunday led to the deaths of at least 31 inmates, the country\u2019s prisons agency said.<\/p>\n

Twenty-seven prisoners in port town Machala died due to asphyxiation and \u2018immediate death by hanging,\u2019 according to a statement shared on X by the SNAI prisons agency. There were no other details about how the prisoners died.<\/p>\n

Authorities said they were still working to \u2018fully clarify the facts,\u2019 and forensic medical personnel were on site to verify information.
\nEarlier Sunday, SNAI reported that four people had been killed due to the deadly rioting, which was later brought under control by tactical police.<\/p>\n
