Ramón Castro, the lesser known older brother of Cuban leaders Fidel and Raúl Castro, died Tuesday morning at age 91 in Havana.
The Cuban communist party newspaper Granma did not give a cause of death.
According to Granma, Ramón Castro was jailed by the Batista dictatorship in 1953 and helped supply the militants of the Cuban Revolution, who were led by Fidel. But after the revolution took power in 1959, Ramón largely shied away from politics and spent the rest of his life as a farmer.
Fidel Castro, who ceded power to Raúl a decade ago for health reasons, is 89. Raúl is 84.
