Camilo Guevara March, son of Argentine-born revolutionary guerrilla Ernesto Che Guevara, died on Monday in Caracas at the age of 60 from a heart attack, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel said today.

“It is with deep regret that we say goodbye to Camilo, Che’s son and the man who promoted his ideas” (Che), the president announced on his Twitter account.

According to the Cuban news agency Prensa latina, Camilo Guevara March was visiting Caracas when he suffered “a pulmonary embolism that caused a heart attack.”

Born in 1962, Camilo was the eldest of four children of Cuban-Argentine guerrilla Ernesto Che Guevara, who was killed by the Bolivian army in 1967, and his Cuban wife Aleida Marz, also a guerrilla. Three more children were born from this marriage: Aleida, Celia and Ernesto.

“Che” had another daughter (Ilda, who died in 1995) from a previous marriage to Peruvian Ilda Gadea.

With a degree in labor law, Camilo Guevara March was director of the Che Guevara Research Center in Havana, an institution dedicated to commemorating his father’s work and thoughts.
