#1 The ego of Chavez was or is his undoing. He must have control of everything. Reminds me of Al-Gaddafi. In denial. Fearful and left with an unfulfilled burned out shell of a man. So he has family and friends who control everything. They will scatter or fight for control among themselves. The people supported him not his family. Things are very bad in Venezuela now.
Should he die the elections will be postponed, perhaps indefinitely. This will allow family and friends to manage their situation for themselves, not for their people. The end is near for Chavez. Then for his family and friends the question is when.

#4 >aggressive prostate cancer more than a year ago had spread to his lymphatic system, colon and bones

Much more likely a lymphatic cancer spread to the other regions...

#5 Chavista leaders are afraid that their fiercest followers will feel betrayed when they learn his claim to be cancer-free turns out to be a big lie.

Freeze-dry him. He'll still be able to do photo-ops.
