News at Eleven: Chile's Communist Party wants a formal

investigation into the death of the country's revered poet Pablo Neruda, who officially died of cancer only days after the 1973 coup toppled his close friend, President Salvador Allende.

Several witnesses have raised doubts about his death recently, including Neruda's driver, who says he was poisoned by government agents.

Neruda died at the age of 69 on Sept. 23, 1973, 12 days after the coup.
