Heard from a guy with Cuban ties who claims a press release at 4pm EST will announce that Castro died. Proof or facts? None at this point, plus no media outlets have mentioned a thing. This rumor has occurred dozens of times prior I'm sure. I expect this thread to be locked. Wait and see I guess.
i haven't heard anything on htis and i've looked it up on google news there has been no report of this sadly...
I've always wondered about that as well, I mean does communism end in Cuba or does it carry on after his death
arent there a bunch of look a likes, kind of like with what saddam did, with castro? who knows maybe hes been dead for awhile now, we just dont know it.
I think this is the obvious answer even if he is dead. At this point, I think the death of Castro has become little more than a mild curiosity.
I think he meant it was unlikely because even though he is old, Castro's death is reported every couple of months, and the Cuban government then rolls him out in his fatigues to prove he is still alive. It is even rumored that some of the reports have been released in the past by the government so they can do just that. Although this time it seems there are some credible reports that it may be fact.
His brother Raul essentially already has taken over everything. He has been in charge of the 'day to day running' of the country since Fidel had his surgery last year.
