We regret to announce the death of Mr Bill Gates the founder and the Chairman of Microsoft and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Mr Bill Gates, who has been ailing for some months, left for Valparaiso on the «Oropesa» in the hope of finding better health in the milder climate of the North; after spending a few days in the British Hospital in Valparaiso he recovered sufficiently to be removed to Santiago but he died a few hours later.
The Microsoft Corporation takes this opportunity of expressing its deep regret at the loss which the whole world suffers by the death of Mr Bill Gates and its sympathy with Mrs. Gates and her children
