Doctors described the condition of the 91-year-old as stable but “life threatening.” A priest gave Pinochet his last rites on Sunday. Last week, Pinochet was placed under house arrest after he was indicted on charges of kidnapping and murdering two bodyguards of Salvador Allende after the 1973 coup.
