At 88 and in failing health, Fidel Castro has been the subject of numerous death rumors of late.
Rumblings on social media last week suggested, once again, that the former Cuban dictator had died, but they were debunked again. The actual dead man is Fidel Castro Odinga – the son of a Kenyan opposition leader from Nairobi.
Whether or not you agreed with Fidel Castro's politics, he had an impressive rise to power. Castro was responsible for establishing the first Communist state in the western hemisphere, beginning what would become a nearly five-decade reign as leader of Cuba, not far from US shores.
