This essay explores what has been an undertheorized link between forensic investigations and the sociological concept of charisma. To do so, we examine the deaths of two illustrious men: former Chilean presidents Salvador Allende and Eduardo Frei Montalva. Our interest is not to elucidate the causes of their deaths from a medical or legal point of view, but rather to understand what is constitutive of the investiture of political power. Based on the notion of charisma and the sentiments produced by forensic investigations, this article explores those non-visible elements that emanate from charisma as a concept, vested in the dead leaders’ remains.

死亡，怀疑，真理和魅力：围绕萨尔瓦多·阿连德和爱德华多·弗莱·蒙塔尔瓦之死的掘尸，谜语和操纵

本文探讨法医调查与魅力的社会学概念之间的理论联系不够深的问题。为此，我们检查了两名杰出人物的死亡：智利前总统萨尔瓦多·阿连德和爱德华多·弗莱·蒙塔尔瓦。我们的兴趣不是从医学或法律角度阐明死亡原因，而是要了解政治权力调查的构成要素。基于感召力的概念和法医调查产生的情感，本文探讨了因感召力而产生的那些不可见元素，这些元素被赋予死者领导者的遗体。
