Camilo Guevara March, son of the guerrilla Ernesto Che Guevara, died this Monday in Caracas at the age of 60 from a heart attack, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel announced on Tuesday.
"With deep sadness we say goodbye to Camilo, Che's son and promoter of his ideas," the president said on his Twitter account.
According to the Cuban news agency Prensa Latina, Camilo Guevara March was visiting Caracas when he died on Monday of "a pulmonary embolism that caused a heart attack."
Born in 1962, he was the eldest of four children of the Cuban-Argentine guerrilla Ernesto Che Guevara, assassinated by the Bolivian army in 1967, and his Cuban wife Aleida March, also an armed combatant. Three other children were born from this union: Aleida, Celia and Ernesto.
"Che" had another daughter (Hilda, who died in 1995), born from a previous marriage with the Peruvian Hilda Gadea.
With a degree in labor law, Camilo Guevara March was director of the Che Guevara Study Center in Havana, an institution dedicated to the perpetuation of his father's work and thought.
