Fidel Castro Has Massive Stroke

The Cuban leader “suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and his state of health is so precarious that he has trouble feeding, speaking and recognizing people, a Venezuelan physician tells El Nuevo Herald.”

“He suffered an embolic stroke and recognizes absolutely no one,” said José Marquina, a respected doctor who in the past has claimed to have direct information about the illness affecting President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela.

Castro is in his home in El Laguito, Havana, receiving constant and specialized medical care, Marquina said. The idea of the Cuban authorities and Castro’s family is to maintain him alive and far from public view, the doctor said.

“He could last weeks like that, but what I can say is that we’ll never again see him in public,” said Marquina in a telephone interview from Naples.
