On September 11, 1973, Allende died in the presidential palace in the attack that brought Augusto Pinochet to power. Chilean President Michelle Bachelet joined Allende’s daughter and granddaughter to lay flowers at the site of his death. Tuesday’s commemoration was the first since Pinochet’s death in December of last year.
