Auger decay of Xe{sup +} states arising from 4p ionization has been studied with a very efficient multielectron coincidence method. Coster-Kronig decay from Xe{sup +} 4p{sup -1} and the subsequent decay into Xe{sup 3+} states with three valence holes are identified. Formation of Xe{sup 4+} is also observed as quadruple coincidences between a 4p photoelectron and three Auger electrons. The relative probabilities of individual multi-ionization processes are determined from the coincidence yields.
