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.

(BBC)

Too bad he did not die sooner. Better yet too bad he did not die at the hands of the people that he hurt.

Actually Pinochet have a lot of supporters, You can always wonder why but mostly because he improved the disastrous economy left by the socialist goverment.

Also the former president Allende had no support of the lower clases wich ( at list teorically) should live better in this kind of economy.
