HAVANA, January 11 (Caridad Cristina Alvarez, Grupo Decoro /
www.cubanet.org) - Steve White, a British subject teaching English in Cuba, died
January 8 at the intensive care unit of Calixto García hospital with a
fractured skull.
White was reportedly found unconscious the night of December 29 near the El
Rápido cafeteria, at the corner of Infanta and Carlos III Streets, in
central Havana. The reports said White had bought a beer at the establishment
between 10:00 and 10:30 p.m. When found, White had no identity papers with him.
White was taken to the Emergency center about two blocks from where he was
found, and from there, to the Calixto García hospital. At the hospital,
White was operated by a neurosurgeon, but he never came out of a coma.
A source said police investigations indicate that White slipped and hit his
head when he fell on the pavement.
White was in Cuba as an invitee of the International School in Havana, where
he taught English.
