One of the world's most celebrated poets, Pablo Neruda, is coming home. Neruda's remains, which were exhumed to help determine his cause of death, have been ordered back to the poet's tomb by a Chilean court on Wednesday.

According to a report from Tico Times, Judge Mario Carroza ruled with the decision to transfer the remains from the forensic facility in Santiago back to his tomb in former Isla Negra residence, with the officials simply keeping bone samples for other necessary tests. The return will take place on April 26.

The Nobel laureate passed away in 1973, but his remains were exhumed three years ago to determine whether allegations of his assassination were true. Suspicions of foul play have been around for a long time, especially after his former driver claimed that Neruda received a mysterious injection in his chest while he was being treated for his prostate cancer at a Santiago clinic. He reportedly died within hours after.

The original cause of death was declared as prostate cancer, but the investigation is still ongoing to see if other causes -- like poison -- were in play.

A report from New York Times said that Neruda, 69, was planning to leave the country after General Augusto Pinochet took power following a military coup overthrowing Socialist president Salvador Allende. Neruda was close friends with Allende.

Pinochet's rule lasted until 1990 and marked thousands of deaths, disappearances and torture.

Early studies by Chile's forensic medical service determined there were "no relevant chemical agents" related to Neruda's passing, but forensic scientists at the University of Murcía in Spain discovered a Staphylococcus aureus infection in Neruda's remains, the report from Tico Times revealed. Test results will be available next month.

In November last year, New York Times reported that the Chilean Interior Ministry released a statement saying that third-party intervention in the death of Neruda "is clearly possible and highly probable". The government statement was a response to an Interior Ministry document published in Spanish newspaper El País that said, "The poet was injected with a pain killer that produced the cardiac arrest that would cause his death."

The report also noted a number of strange occurrences in medical care for Neruda including the injection in his abdomen instead of intravenously and the lack of knowledge on the identity of the personnel who administered the injection or even what the injection was exactly. What was clear was that the poet's condition "worsened rapidly after the injection and that his death occurred only six hours and thirty minutes afterward."
