Hugo Chavez Reported in Critical Condition in Cuban Hospital UPDATE: Dead?

UPDATE:  Not confirmed yet by anyone else:

@WikileaksAR: NOW CONFIRMED! Argentinean Embassy Cable: Hugo Chavez died of heart attack yesterday in Cuba

Well, then of course he'll be immediately healed.  Didn't Michael Moore tell us the Cuban health care system is the best in the world?

Hugo Chávez extended stay in a Cuban hospital is because he is in critical condition, according to a report in El Nuevo Herald.

The Venezuelan president, who was last seen in public June 9 and last heard from on June 12, on a phone call with Venezuelan state television, was said to have been treated for a pelvic abscess in Cuba.

During the call Chávez said that medical tests showed no sign of any "malignant" illness.

But according to the report in El Nuevo Herald, Chávez finds himself in "critical condition, not grave, but critical, in a complicated situation."

The Miami newspaper cited U.S. intelligence officials who wished to remain anonymous.

Chávez silence has led to chatter and speculation in Venezuela that the socialist leader is actually suffering from prostate cancer. Intelligence officials could not confirm a diagnosis of prostate cancer but Chávez family did go to Cuba in the last 72 hours, according to wire service EFE.

Chavez thought he smelled sulphur from "El Diablo" when he followed George W. Bush at the UN in 2006. I wonder what he's smelling now?
