HUGO CAVEZ OF VENEZUELA DIED
CARACAS, Venezuela - President Hugo Chavez died on Tuesday after a two-year battle with cancer, ending 14 years of tumultuous, divisive rule that won him passionate support from the poor but the hatred of business leaders and wealthier Venezuelans.
The flamboyant 58-year-old had undergone four operations in Cuba for a cancer that was first detected in his pelvic region in mid-2011.
His last surgery was on December 11 and he had not been seen in public since.
