Relatives of the poet Pablo Neruda regretted the suspension of the presentation of a report on the death of the Nobel Prize for Literature, which occurred in 1973, just 12 days after the military coup in Chile.

"It is shameful.

I say it straight, it hurts a lot, but we have to keep waiting, "said the writer's nephew, Rodolfo Reyes.

Reyes explained that the judicial hearing had to be suspended due to a lack of technical diligence due to the difficulties of several experts, who are in other countries, to connect.

Questioned by Prensa Latina about the expectation that the case generates, the lawyer also affirmed that it has already been a long time and everyone wants to know the causes of Neruda's death.

Five decades after his death, experts are trying to determine if the author of

was poisoned or died of prostate cancer.

In essence, the experts from Canada, Denmark and the United States must conclude whether the clostridium botulinum bacterium, found in a molar of the poet, could have been inoculated or not and whether there was intervention by third parties.

This bacterium is responsible for botulism, a rare but serious disease that attacks the nerves and can cause shortness of breath, muscle paralysis and even death.

"A large amount of clostridium botulinum was already found here in their bones, which is incompatible with life," Reyes declared.

The world wants this to come to light, there can be no more hiding places, he said.
