The brother of Hugo Chavez has denied that the ailing Venezuelan president is in a coma, saying he is responding well to cancer treatment in Cuba and making progress daily.
"Reports that the president is in a coma and that the family is discussing ending life support are totally false," Barinas state Governor Adan Chavez said in a statement on Saturday.
He "continues to respond well to his medical care and to make daily progress in his recovery".
