After Eva Perón passed away in 1952, her body was kept in storage for three years while a mausoleum was being built—a final resting place that would never be completed. The military took over Argentina in 1955 and kept Perón's body secret from the public out of concern that it would unite the nation against them. But they had no idea that by doing so, she would turn out to be more lethal in death than she had been in life.
