Pablo Neruda, the Nobel Prize-winning Chilean poet, died from poison nearly 50 years ago: experts.

The article discusses the recent claims by a family member of Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, suggesting that forensic experts have determined he died from poisoning rather than complications from prostate cancer, as previously stated. Rodolfo Reyes, Neruda's nephew, reported that tests indicated the presence of Clostridium botulinum, a potent toxin, in Neruda's body, which could lead to paralysis and death. This revelation comes ahead of a public report from an international panel of forensic experts, which has faced delays. The ongoing investigation into Neruda's death, which occurred shortly after the 1973 military coup in Chile, has raised suspicions about potential foul play, particularly from the dictatorship at the time.
