Did Hugo Chavez Actually Die In Cuba?

http://www.ibtimes.com/did-hugo-chavez-actually-die-cuba-1113798#

ABC claims that Chavez, who had returned to Venezuela last month following cancer surgery and a two-month recovery period in Cuba, was sent back to Havana in his last hours after his condition continued to deteriorate amid respiratory complications.

Chavez’s death was reported around 4:30 p.m. local time, at a military hospital in Caracas, but ABC said its sources close to the medical team reported that the death actually occurred several hours earlier, around 7 a.m.

The alleged purpose of the delayed reporting was to conceal the last-minute efforts to save Chavez’s life and the subsequent transfer of his body back to Venezuela, thus providing the government time to carefully manage the announcement of his death.

This scenario is consistent with the level of secrecy that had surrounded Chavez’s illness over the past two years, during which the government declined to disclose what type of cancer he had or provide detailed information about his health status.

*claims*, unknown *sources*, *alleged purpose*?


Lol Bacchus, just skip to the screeching that this was done to allow Maduro time to put post-Chavez plans in place and that if the neoliberals can manage, in their desperation, to *prove* that he died earlier, that the whole Bolivarian Revolution will come to a screeching halt and Capriles can gain his rightful place and dismantle all the people's gains and start privatizing everything.

Newsflash comrade. The Revolution Will Not Be Stopped.
