DescriptionBogota Mayor Says Castro's Health Declining

Have we officially begun a Castro death watch? Bogota's mayor hints at the possibility.

Weeks after meeting with Fidel Castro during a vacation in Cuba, Bogota's mayor said Wednesday the 77-year-old Cuban leader's health appeared to be deteriorating.

"He seemed very sick to me," Luis Eduardo Garzon, a former communist union organizer, told Caracol Radio. "You could tell he had physical limitations, especially in his speech."

Rumors about Castro's health circulate regularly, especially in the Cuban exile community. But he has not had any known serious illnesses and remains energetic for a man his age, recently speaking for eight hours at a meeting of Cuba's parliament.
