On November 25, 2016, Fidel Castro of Cuba had died. Castro died Friday at 90. His brother, Raul Castro, announced his death in a televised statement.

“I say to the people of Cuba, with profound pain I come here to inform our people, our friends of America and the world, that today, 25 November, 2016, at 10:29 pm, died the chief commander of the Cuban revolution, Fidel Castro Ruz,” Raul Castro said.

Fidel Castro’s body was cremated and on Wednesday, his ashes will be taken along the reverse route he took across the island after seizing power in 1959. At the University of Havana, where Castro attended law school 70 years ago, people placed flowers and photos by a statue on the main steps of the college. In Bíran, a town near Cuba’s eastern tip where Castro was born, people were calling and knocking on the door of his half-brother, Martin Castro.
