Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez died from complications related to cancer. He was 58.
The Latin American leader underwent four surgeries since he was first diagnosed with cancer in June 2011.
His last cancer surgery in Havana, Cuba, on Dec. 11, was followed by several complications including a severe respiratory infection and bleeding. His condition was a source of speculation—there was little information available, and the little information that came to light came from government sources.
On Feb. 18, Chavez had quietly returned to Venezuela from Cuba, but the public hadn’t seen him in months.
He had four children. The president was married to Venezuelan journalist Marisabel Rodriguez from 1997 to 2004. They had a daughter, Rosines Chavez. He had three children with his first wife Nancy Colmenares.
