The expert report concludes that Pablo Neruda was poisoned to death
- Pablo Neruda died two weeks after the coup d'état against Salvador Allende, and will be 50 years old next September. The official cause of death is prostate cancer and metastasis, but the niece of the Chilean poet has noticed the international expert report: he had an endogenous botulism bacteria.
He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1971 and the famous Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, a member of the Communist Party. He was also president of almost one country: he was a candidate alongside Salvador Allende within the party, but Allende was finally the leading candidate.
The military coup was directed by Augusto Pinochet on September 11, 1973, and twelve days later the Chilean poet, at the age of 69, was admitted to a health center. As officially recognized, Neruda died from prostate cancer and the metastasis he suffered, but the suspicions of his murder are not new.
Ten years of secret investigation
The first line of investigation opened in 2011, but since then the case summary has been in secret. Manuel Araya, Neruda's personal motorist, publicly stated that he had "the suspicion that he was chemically poisoned" and from there a group of international experts began an investigation. However, this group concluded that prostate cancer was the cause of death, as it had suffered since 1969.
Subsequently, a second group of international experts was created which detected the bacterium Clostridium botulinum in Neruda's organism. A third group of scientists have just concluded that, according to the family, the bacteria were endogenous.
Advancement of the nephew
Rodolfo Reyes, the nephew of Pablo Neruda, has not given more details than the report of international experts concluded, because at the moment all the information is in the hands of the judge. In his statements to the Ser chain in Spain, he has stated that it will be a "breakthrough": "I had cancer, I was sick, I had trouble walking, but I was not about to die."
