I added a link to his profile.
Yes, he has died. His brother, Cuban President Raul Castro, announced it on live television last night. A funeral and other tributes have been scheduled. He was 90, and died in the afternoon on Friday, Nov. 25, 2016, according to state news.

It has now been confirmed on all the major US networks.

None of the major US networks can be trusted.  However, it is also reported as so on RT.com so it's likely true.  :D
