[quote=cnn] HAVANA, Cuba (CNN) -- Juan Almeida, a Cuban revolutionary who fought alongside former Communist leader Fidel Castro, died of a heart attack Friday evening, according to state media. Almeida, 82, was among only a handful of surviving Cuban leaders who still bore the title "Commander of the Revolution."

A vice president and member of the Communist government Central Committee, Almeida was among only a few black leaders in top government posts.

He died of cardiac arrest late Friday evening, according Juventud Rebelde, Cuba's state-run youth newspaper.

Widely admired among Cuban nationals, Almeida fought with Fidel and Raul Castro at the start of their campesino-led revolution, participating in the failed attacks on the Moncada army barracks in 1953 and later aboard the famed yacht, "Granma," that carried the small group of Cuban rebels who would later topple U.S.-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista.

Almeida's death highlights the mortality of an aging cast of Cuba's revolutionary leaders[/quote]
One of the last few communist leaders still alive from the cold war era that nearly brought the destruction of the world (or well most of it) but who cares! that guy from dirty dancing died!
I searched no one seemed to have reported that he died everyone is more concerned about hollywood

he died Sept 11 but still no real coverage

He thought when he read "alongside with Fidel Castro" he thought he died too. :Dawkins102:
