Venezuelan president, Hugo Chavez dies at 58 after battle with cancer



Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez died Tuesday, Vice President Nicolas Maduro announced, shortly after Caracas revealed that the cancer-stricken leftist icon was suffering from a severe infection.

“We have received the hardest and most tragic news that… comandante President Hugo Chavez died today at 4:25 pm,” Maduro said on state television.
 He hadn't made a public appearance since his return to Venezuela last month after cancer treatment in Cuba. May his soul rest in peace..amen.
