Report: Chavez sent to Venezuela to die

Feb 19, 2013

CARACAS, Venezuela (UPI) -- Cancer-stricken Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez was sent home to die after doctors in Cuba could do nothing more for him, Spain's ABC newspaper reported. The 58-year-old leader -- who returned to Caracas, the Venezuelan capital, at 2:30 a.m. Monday and was rushed to a downtown military hospital after being treated in Havana for complications following Dec. 11 cancer surgery -- is now receiving palliative care after doctors determined no viable cancer treatment would improve his health, the newspaper said, citing sources in contact with Chavez's medical team. Palliative care focuses on relieving and preventing a patient's suffering.
