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.
Born in Argentina, Guevara studied medicine before
traveling through Latin America, when he met Cuban revolutionaries Fidel and
Raul Castro in Mexico.
Guevara joined their army and helped overthrow
US-backed
Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista, before later unsuccessfully
attempting to spark similar Marxist revolutions in Congo and then Bolivia,
where he was shot dead by a soldier in 1967 at age 39.
