SANTIAGO, Chile — Chile’s Communist Party is asking a judge to order the exhumation of the remains of famed poet Pablo Neruda due to allegations that he might have been poisoned.
Party member Juan Andres Lagos said Monday that the request will be reviewed by Judge Mario Carroza, who is probing deaths allegedly caused by abuses during the dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet between 1973 and 1990.
The 69-year-old poet, who won the 1971 Nobel Prize in Literature, died Sept. 23, 1973, in the Santa Maria Clinic in Santiago.
