CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Sunday Fidel Castro is "writing, and producing," denying rumors circulating on the Internet that the Cuban leader had died.

Chavez, a close ally of Castro, has frequently provided information about the health of the ailing Communist leader who temporarily stepped aside after undergoing emergency abdominal surgery a year ago.

"On the Internet rumors are circulating that Fidel Castro has died," Chavez said during his weekly Sunday broadcast. "Fidel is producing, he is writing."

Chavez said he had spoken to Castro on his 81st birthday on Monday.

Rumors had surfaced on Friday that Castro had died from complications resulting from his surgery.

Venezuela sends close to 100,000 barrels per day of oil and fuel to the Caribbean island in exchange for the services of doctors and other professionals as part of a cooperation accord.

I can't believe he is still alive. He should have taken a fall a looooong time ago.

he should have taken a bullet a long time ago...

does it matter? Him dying won't change shit. We must tell Raul, after Castro's confirmed death he has 72 hours to leave the Island and go to Venezuela. That is the only way of helping the Cubans.
