Angola’s attorney-general, Helder Pitta Gros, says a post mortem examination into the death of the former president, Jose Eduardo dos Santos, has ruled out poisoning.
A court in Barcelona had authorised the post mortem following a request from his daughter, Tchize dos Santos, who had alleged he had been murdered.
Mr Dos Santos died in a Barcelona hospital on Friday, where he had been undergoing medical treatment.
The family’s lawyers have denounced moves by the Angolan government to return the body to his homeland for a state funeral, saying he wanted a private burial in Spain.
