News at Eleven: [Manuel] Araya, who was at the poet's

bedside until a few hours before his death at the age of 69, said that he had been hospitalized at the Santa Maria Clinic in Santiago "not because of worsening health, but for his security." He said Neruda was "anxious and tense," that he believed the new regime was bent on eliminating him and was alarmed by an injection administered at night by a doctor.
