Perez Hilton: Castro's dead?

Hmmm.... Hilton says the official announcement of Castro's death will come later today. Link (Thanks, Jane McGonigal!)

UPDATE: Meanwhile, other news sources report that there are no indications that Castro is dead or about to die. Link (Thanks, Xeni!)

UPDATE: The Miami Herald discusses the rumors that, so far, seem to be just that. Link

Ridiculous. PH should not have claimed to know something he could not know. In today's news: "After a lengthy absence from public view of nearly four months, the 81-year-old Castro appeared in an interview aired Friday looking frail but sounding lucid.

But apart from laughing off rumors of his death, Castro offered no details about his health, much less whether he might return to power.

"Well, here I am ... nobody knows when they will die," Castro said in the interview, which interrupted regular television programming."
