Let's be honest. Does the figure on the right look alive to you? I didn't think so, either. In this photo with Ecuadorian President, Rafael Correa. ex-Cuban lifetime President, Fidel Castro, looks like a corpse that has been dusted off and propped up.

Notice the pallor in Castro's face. Notice the deep etches around the eyes or the painted on expression on his face. Nope. It appears that the man's upped and met his maker. Yet in order to keep it a secret, they keep propping him up, dusting him off and applying a little blush to the apples of his cheeks, so he can make the occasional public appearance.

Either that or upon his passing, his ego wouldn't allow him to admit it, so he makes the occasional public appearance when need be.
