It wouldn't shock me if he died during surgery months ago.

Perez has actually been saying this for over a week now. As weird as it may sound, I would not be surprised at all.

I wouldn't be surprised either, but how/why would Perez have the scoop? Wouldn't mainstream media be all over this?

He posted it would be around 4:00 pm Eastern. The majors aren't even picking this up as a rumor. Certainly if a press conference had been called they would be all over it.

CNN and Fox would be all over this story.

I agree but why would he "make this up?" He is Cuban and may have his sources...

And seriously, why announce this huge story in time to make the Saturday papers which no one reads?

Think Saturday or Sunday if at all.

DEAD. Remember, A gay cyber gossip queen reported this last week (and I don't mean Matt Drudge!)All the radio stations are picking this up. If its not true, man alot of the media is going to have some back peddling to do.

You see how it is nowadays? EVERYONE wants to be the first to break a story. So, they report the rumor and keep their fingers crossed it turns out to be true! How sad.

I wouldn't beleive Perez Hilton about the color of Lindsay Lohan's pubes. Why in the world would he know better than the NY Times in Castro was dead?

LOL! I was going to say that I wouldn't believe a weather report if it came from him, but I like that better.

Mominator's right. If this was fact, the news would be EVERYWHERE as a glorious celebration of the death of America's enemy, etc.

That is an interesting fact. I have been doing some searching but still nothing either way.

From Reuters - UK

"BRASILIA (Reuters) - Convalescing Cuban leader Fidel Castro "is fine," Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque said on Thursday, responding to recent speculation about the ageing revolutionary's health.

"Fidel is fine and is very disciplined about his recovery," Perez Roque told reporters during a meeting of Latin American and Asian officials in Brazil's capital, Brasilia.

Castro, who turned 81 on August 13, has not appeared in public since undergoing emergency intestinal surgery that forced him to hand over power to his brother Raul more than a year ago."

SH*Te... I thought I pasted the link...

It was an article on the National Post that questioned the death, but that something seemed to be going on in Dade Co.

As of the last update:

MIAMI (WSVN) -- Rumors circulating around South Florida of Fidel Castro's death are unfounded according to multiple sources.

FOX News cites multiple officials at the White House saying there is nothing to back up rumors coming out of Miami that Fidel Castro is dead.

WSVN's assignment Desk has received several calls regarding Castro's rumored death.

According to Miami Police Chief John Timoney officials are in contact with the FBI on an "hourly" basis.

Sadly the police in S. Florida have to act on this type of rumor.
If it is true maybe ABC, NBC,CNN et al are sitting on the story until Miami police are on place?
