The death toll from a weekend inferno that razed hilltop neighborhoods in a coastal region of central Chile has risen to 131, the state forensic service said on Tuesday.

The agency reported eight more deaths after the previous tally, and said only 35 of the victims have been identified since the fire devastated the region 120 kilometers (74 miles) north of the capital Santiago.
