what happened to fidel castro is he alive?

Answer 1

G'day Riju j,

Thanks for your question.

Fidel Castro is still alive but has transferred power to his brother Raul.

On July 31, 2006, the spokesman for Castro announced a provisional transfer of his duties as president and Communist Party first secretary to his younger brother Raúl. The announcement cited "an acute intestinal crisis, with sustained bleeding" requiring immediate medical intervention, as the cause of his decision to cede control. The announcement marked the first delegation of presidential duties in Cuba since Castro's inauguration in 1976.

As of early August, rumors persisted that Castro was already dead. On August 5, the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S. Paulo reported that Cuban authorities had informed Brazilian president Lula da Silva that Castro's health was much worse than what the Cuban government had previously admitted in public. According to the report, Castro is actually suffering from intestinal cancer and will be unable to resume control of the Cuban state. The Brazilian government quickly denied that the report was accurate. Folha's editors responded to the government's denials by saying their sources were aides to the president. On 13 August 2006, Castro published a note: "I ask you all to be optimistic, and at the same time to be ready to face any adverse news. . . . For all those who care about my health, I promise I'll fight for it". He also appeared live on Venezuelan television on 14 August 2006 joking with Hugo Chávez from his sickbed.

I enclose some sources for your reference.
