Pinochet is Dead

Former Chilean leader General Augusto Pinochet has died.

The general entered a Santiago hospital a week ago after a heart attack. He was thought to be recovering when his condition suddenly worsened on Sunday.

..."He died surrounded by his family," the hospital's Dr Juan Ignacio Vergara told reporters.
Which makes him luckier than any of the thousands of people who "disappeared" during his 17-year rule. Adios, Augusto.
