Chile's Gen Pinochet dead at 91


Chile's former military leader Augusto Pinochet has died, the Santiago hospital treating him after an earlier heart attack has announced.

The hospital said the condition of the 91-year-old general had suddenly worsened, AP news agency said.

Gen Pinochet was in power from 1973-90, during which time more than 3,000 people were killed or "disappeared".

He is accused of dozens of human rights violations but has never faced trial because of poor health.

Gen Pinochet suffered a heart attack a week ago. He underwent medical procedures and received the last rites from a Catholic priest.

His condition had been thought to be improving.
