The body of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is lying in state at the military academy in Caracas. 

委内瑞拉总统乌戈·查韦斯的遗体被庄重地安置于加拉加斯陆军军官学校内。

 
His family and close advisers1, as well as the presidents of Argentina, Bolivia and Uruguay, paid their respects next to his open coffin2 on Wednesday.
 
Mr Chavez died aged3 58 after suffering from cancer for nearly two years.
 
Hundreds of thousands of people earlier took to the streets of the capital to pay tribute as a hearse(灵车) carrying his coffin took hours to reach the academy.
 
The state funeral for Mr Chavez is due to take place on Friday.
 
The head of the presidential guard was quoted by the Associated Press news agency as saying that he had been with Mr Chavez when he died.
 
General Jose Ornella said Mr Chavez had died of a massive heart attack, and in his final moments had said he wanted to carry on living.
 
"He couldn't speak but he said it with his lips: 'I don't want to die. Please don't let me die,'" said Gen Ornella, according to AP.

Political vacuum
 
Chavez supporters gathered in Caracas on Wednesday to catch a glimpse of his coffin as it was driven through the streets from the military hospital where he died on Tuesday to the military academy, where he will lie in state.
 
Mourners, many wearing red T-shirts and carrying pictures of Mr Chavez, threw flowers at the coffin, which was draped(覆盖) in a Venezuelan flag.
 
The BBC's Will Grant says many Chavez supporters thank him for changing their lives. 
 
One supporter at the procession, Maria Alexandra, said: "After Jesus Christ, there's Hugo Chavez. Before him, the government didn't take care about us. Now children have everything."
 
The coffin was greeted with sustained applause as it arrived at the military academy.
 
Mr Chavez's family and the Latin American leaders later attended Mass at the academy's chapel4, where he will lie in state in an open coffin.
 
Afterwards, his mother and children gathered around the coffin to pay their respects. Then, military commanders and members of his cabinet took their turns to file past before the chapel was opened to the public. 
 
Our correspondent says Mr Chavez's death has created a potential vacuum at the heart of his political movement. 
 
According to the constitution, there must be a presidential election within 30 days and the government has said it intends to stick to that timetable.
