SANTIAGO DE CHILE – Chile’s state television channel has reported that President Salvador Allende may have been assassinated and not committed suicide during the 1973 coup.
TVN’s “Special Report” program Monday cited a copy of a long-lost, 300-page military summary of Allende’s death.
After reviewing the report, two forensics experts told TVN that they are inclined to conclude that Allende was assassinated. One of the experts later confirmed that opinion with The Associated Press.
TVN said the military document was discovered in a home belonging to a military justice official that was destroyed in last year’s earthquake.
Chile’s military said in 1973 that Allende killed himself with an AK-47 given to him by former Cuban President Fidel Castro.
