Former Angolan President José Eduardo dos Santos
A Barcelona court has authorised an autopsy on former Angolan President, José Eduardo dos Santos, who died on Friday after his family alleged a conspiracy to kill him.
His daughter, Tchize dos Santos, requested the autopsy.
She said political enemies did not want him to back the opposition in next month's Angolan elections.
Mr. Dos Santos, who was 79, was in Spain for medical treatment and died after a cardiac arrest.
After 38 years in power, he stepped down in 2017 and was succeeded by João Lourenço, who is from the same MPLA party.
He has pursued a vigorous anti-corruption campaign, which has included some of Mr. Dos Santos' children.
