Nazi paedophile dies in prison hospital

A former Nazi soldier who founded a secretive, commune-like colony of German immigrants died in a Chilean prison where he was serving time for child molestation and human rights abuses dating to the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet.

Paul Schaefer, 89, was being treated in a prison hospital for heart problems and other difficulties related to his advanced age, the corrections department said in a statement.
