That’s what Babalu Blog says. We’ll know soon if he has scooped the world’s press. Here’s what he says:

My cellphone has not stopped ringing for the past ten minutes. Various sources inform that an announcement will come within the next few minutes from the Cuban government on Cuban TV and media.

UPDATE: I hope it’s true for obvious reasons, but also because I can’t wait to see what Hollywood glitterati show up for his funeral. I bet wild horses couldn’t keep Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins and Barbara Streisand from showing up at Fidel’s planting. If I were there I’d do like George Kennedy did in the movie “Charade” and stick a pin in the old commie to make sure he’s for sure temperatura de cuarto.

UPDATE 4:37 p.m.: Though rumors fly in Miami, Cuban officials say El Comandante remains among the living. Too bad. Looks like this rumor was premature.
