This from NBC6 in South Florida:
U.S. Senior officials said that while there are reports on setbacks in Fidel Castro's health, there are no indications that his death is imminent.
Nothing unusual has been reported from Havana. However, Miami is ablaze with rumors, NBC News reported.
On Thursday, Cuba's foreign minister, Felipe Perez Roque, said rumors about Fidel Castro's deteriorating health are untrue. Roque told reporters in Brazil that the 81-year-old was still in charge of Cuban affairs. He said Castro is "being informed and consulted constantly."
Roque made the comments to reporters while attending the Forum for East Asia-Latin American Cooperation in Brazil.
Cubans were hoping Fidel would make a public appearance during his birthday celebrations nearly two weeks ago.
Castro has not been seen in public for over a year since he transferred power to his brother after surgery.
As they say rumors have been flying around the Miami area that the old bastard has already assumed room temperature. Val Prieto posted this yesterday on Babalu Blog:
Ok. So once again - this must be like the millionth time - we were duped into the fidel castro is dead thing. But were we, really? Does anyone really think he's still alive, all all of that hullaballooo?
Here's my take, once again:
fidel castro is dead.
Take it to the bank.

Hugo Chavez parroted the denial of the castroites in claiming his Havana Tio was alive and well. But as soon as he did, he started babbling on about castro's legacy, not his physical presence. He spoke in general and symbolic terms, rather than factual ones. Does this sound like a man who really knows that castro is alive and well?
'For those who want him to die, they will get frustrated, because Fidel Castro will never die,' Chavez told a socialist rally in the capital Caracas. 'He will always live among the people that fight for a better destiny. He will always live in the people of Cuba, Venezuela and the Americas.'
I think the dictator of Caracas might have let the cat out of the bag. I hope raul is screaming about it.
