Pablo Neruda's body will not be reburied this week.

The exhumed body of the Chilean Nobel Prize-winning poet was originally planned to be reburied this week, but there has been a change in plans. Two years ago, Neruda’s remains were exhumed because there were questions about the way he died.

As reported in the Independent, a team of investigators started to dig for Neruda’s remains on Sunday, April 5, 2013 at Isla Negra, or black island. This rocky area on the Pacific Coast was named after Neruda.

Forensic experts were not sure they would find answers to Neruda's cause of death. They wanted to see if he died of natural causes or whether or not he was poisioned by the military dictatorship, as some believe.

As reported by The Associated Press, the office of Chile's judiciary announced yesterday that, after members of the poet's family along with other groups had asked the courts to block the burial so that more tests could be carried out, the plans to rebury Neruda in his home in the coastal town of Isla Negra were suspended.

Neruda died in aftermath of the 1973 military coup led by Augusto Pinochet. The poet, who was suffering from prostate cancer at the time, was traumatized by the coup as well as the persecution and murder of his friends.

He planned to go into exile and become a voice against the new dictatorship.

A day before he was set to leave, Neruda was taken by ambulance to the Santa Maria clinic where he was being treated for cancer and other ailments. Neruda died at the clinic on Sept. 23, 1973, officially from natural causes.
