Pablo Neruda’s family denounces that he died “poisoned”

The family of Chilean poet and politician Pablo Neruda, who died in 1973 allegedly as a result of advanced prostate cancer, has actually claimed that he was poisoned by Chilean “state agents”.

As explained by Rodolfo Reyes, lawyer and nephew of the writer, it was found in 2017 in the skeleton of Neruda a “large amount of ‘clostridium botulinum'”, a pathogenic bacterium capable of causing botulisma disease caused by a toxin that attacks the nerves in the body.

“That should never have been in the skeleton, in Neruda’s body, and that was injected. So, as a lawyer, It makes me say that Neruda was eliminated in Chile. Who? We don’t know yet. That is going to be known, and of course it had to be State agents”, Reyes assured in statements to Cadena Ser, in which he recalled that the poet was an opinion leader in 1973 and “was a public danger to “the dictator Pinochet.

The Chilean writer, who then was part of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, died on September 23, 1973, two weeks after the coup that overthrew the socialist president Salvador Allende. Manuel Araya, Pablo Neruda’s driver and personal assistant, has repeatedly denied the version that the reason for his death was due to cancer and has assured that he was “murdered” by the Pinochet regime (1973-1990). ).

A group of forensics already pointed out in 2017 that the Nobel Prize for Literature did not die of cancer, as initially reported, which opens the possibility to other hypotheses.
