In Chile, forensic experts have found famed poet and Nobel Prize winner Pablo Neruda died of poisoning — not cancer — in September 1973, according to his nephew. 

Santiago de Chile, February 14 (RHC)-- In Chile, forensic experts have found famed poet and Nobel Prize winner Pablo Neruda died of poisoning — not cancer — in September 1973, according to his nephew. 

Neruda’s sudden death came just 12 days after General Augusto Pinochet took power in a U.S.-backed military coup that overthrew democratically elected President Salvador Allende; Neruda was a close friend of Allende. 

Neruda’s body was exhumed in 2013 after his former driver for decades claimed he was poisoned by a stomach injection administered by doctors under the dictatorship.
