clarifies the Castro situation.
Reports are fidel castro may be dead if, in fact, he is no longer living. However, several Cuban government press releases have referenced the aliveness of fidel castro and stated that his aliveness is alive and almost alive enough to be alive and almost alive and kicking.

So, to recap, fidel castro may be alive if his aliveness is alive in aliveness, however, given recent reports that his aliveness has not shown any signs of being alive, in the alivenessly aliveness sense of aliveness, then chances are the Cuban dictator has lost his aliveness and is, indeed, not as alive as he should be and may be, at minimum, reasonably dead or, at maximum, extremely dead.
We report, you decide.

this (Spanish) article, in which Deputy Sec. of State Otto Reich cautions that the Castro government likes to spread death rumors itself --either to haul the old dude out later to the detriment of its detractors' credibility, or to ennable the secret police to gauge reactions. It also reports that Hugo Chavez may have taken a secret flight to Habana over the weekend to say goodbye. A Cuban friend reports rumors from his sources that Castro has a badly metastasized cancer and is at the end, if not already gone. I'm holding out for a deathbed conversion!
