| Chile's General Pinochet 'dead' Chile's former military leader Augusto Pinochet has died, Chilean TV reports.
The 91-year-old had been receiving treatment at a Santiago military hospital after an earlier heart attack.
Gen Pinochet was in power from 1973-90 after overthrowing the government. During that 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.
