Chile Reopens Investigation into Pablo Neruda's Mysterious Death

A Chilean appeals court has ordered the reopening of an investigation into the death of poet Pablo Neruda in 1973, responding to a request from his family and Chile's Communist Party. Last year, international experts delivered a report suggesting that Neruda may not have died solely of cancer, as officially stated, and did not rule out third-party involvement. Neruda, a Nobel laureate, died shortly after the military coup that brought Augusto Pinochet to power, and there have been claims that he was injected with a deadly substance by agents of Pinochet's regime.
