SANTIAGO - New photographs of the corpse of Ernesto "Che" Guevara, taken shortly after the Latin American revolutionary was executed in Bolivia in 1967, have gone on public display for the first time.
The photographs were taken by Freddy Alborta, one of a handful of photographers allowed to see Che's corpse as it lay in a hospital in the Bolivian village of Vallegrande in October, 1967, following his capture by United States-backed Bolivian soldiers.
Alborta, a Bolivian, took dozens of photographs of Che's body but only ever published a few.
