You know, my fiance and I were wondering this a few weeks ago now. After all the speculation, there's been a rather suspicious silence... other than these articles which came out on December 2nd and 8th.
Cancer-ridden Castro may not live to see in new year

Fidel Castro was a no-show Saturday at a major military parade that doubled as his 80th birthday celebration, raising questions about whether the ailing leader will ever return to power as his public absence begins taking on a tone of permanence.

I think he's with his friend Pinochet and he's probably been there for a while. There has been no serious sign of life for months, even not during the important parade on December 2nd.

Well he was quite ill and he is very old and we have not seen him for some time so he may well be dead and the Cuban government don't want to say

Hell yeah!, instead of saying Vivito y Coliando, I will say Vivito y Jodiendo. Like the old Cuban saying: "Bicho malo nunca muere"

He is barely alive and desperately carrying out his plan to transfer his soul into Elian Gonazalez.

unfortunently yes, but he's very sick, after he dies I heard his brother will take over, and he's just as bad as Castro...
