The Venezuelan President Commander Hugo Chavez ruled for 14 years (1999-2013). He (then 56) suffered from a pelvic cancer, a tumour (query prostatic cancer) and had surgeries in Havana, Cuba, including for pelvic abscess on 10 June 2011. He developed lung infection, had kidney failure and was on dialysis, had respiratory deficiency and died on Tuesday afternoon, 5 March 2013 in Cuba, aged 58.
His two-year battle with cancer ended and Venezuela now grieves. He leaves behind a wife Marisabel and two daughters Rosa Virginia Chavez and Maria Gabriela Chavez.
His body lies in state at the Military Academy in Caracas. His remains will be embalmed (just like other leftists Lenin, Mao Tze Tung and Ho Chi Minh) and displayed at the Museum of the Revolution.
