Havana, Nov 26 (IBNS): Former Cuban President and communism poster boy for decades, Fidel Castro breathed his last on Saturday, according to Cuban state TV.

Castro was 90 years old.

Throughout his life he received polarising reviews with his admirers praising him for giving back the country to the people while others criticised him for brutal way of supressing opposition.

He ruled for almost five decades, before handing reigns to his brother Raul.
