He opposed the coup of General Augusto Pinochet, and was imprisoned and subject to torture for several months until his death in 1974 of heart problems. He was married to anthropologist Ángela Jeria Gómez and they had a daughter, which was later to be the first woman to become President of Chile, Michelle Bachelet.
His great-grandfather was Joseph Bachelet Lapierre, a French wine merchant from Chassagne-Montrachet who emigrated to Chile with his Parisian wife in 1860 and hired as a wine-making expert by the Subercaseaux vineyards. His grandfather was Germán Bachelet, whom was born in Chile and married to a French-Swiss woman.
