According to Prensa Latina, Guevara March was visiting Venezuela when he died on Monday due to a blood clot that led to a heart attack.





“It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Camilo, son of Che and promoter of his ideas,” said Diaz-Canel on Twitter.

He was the eldest of four children that Argentine Guevara had with Cuban Aleida March.

Guevara also had a daughter, Hilda, from a previous marriage to Peruvian Hilda Gadea.

A graduate in labor law, Guevara March was the director of the Center for Che Guevara Studies in Havana, an institution dedicated to promoting the work and ideology of his father, who remains a hugely influential figure in Cuba.
