“Fidelito,” was the President’s oldest son of 9. He got that nickname for his striking resemblance to his world-famous father. As of publishing, the details of his alleged suicide are not available. “His delicate health situation required hospitalization and then ultimately continued with outpatient follow-ups as he reincorporated himself back into society,” a Cuban reporter shared, per the Miami Herald.
