The Nobel laureate poet Pablo Neruda is without a doubt one of the most important and influential writers in Latin American literature and the world at large. He also had an active role in Chile's political life, serving as diplomat and senator for the Communist Party. In 1973, two years after receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature, Pablo Neruda died. Cancer was the official cause, but the timing of his death -less than two weeks after the coup d'état led by Augusto Pinochet- and other suspicious circumstances have raised serious doubts on its veracity.

Click play to learn more about Neruda's life, political commitment and the ongoing debate about the true nature of his death.
