Apparently, the rumor is he died today and either Cuba or the U.S. is supposed to announce something by the end of the night.

Considering this rumor first surfaced on the celebertiy gossip site Perez Hilton.com, I find it very hard to beleive. World cahnging news and celeberty gossip are two different things.

I respectfully say: "who cares?". He's a has-been (or a never-was)

The most recent I could find:
Rumors of Castro's death are greatly exaggerated

Hey, Mark Twain said the same thing! Eventually though, the rumors of Twain's death turned out to be true... many, many years later.

Have not heard anything tonight, just word that he as not been well.
I doubt the US will immediately lift the embargo once Castro dies, but will wait to see what the new government does.
I bet Hugo Chavez is anxious.

Last I heard this is a rumor that has been going on for a week and finally hit the blogosphere.
Probably false.

Well Perez Hilton's website has an update that says they stand behind their news 100%.......
So we shall see.....I have a gut feeling it's true. Dunno why, just do.
