WI: Castro dies in 1961?

If Fidel Castro died of a heart attack or an accident in January 1961 what would have been the geopolitical effects?

Would the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis still have occurred?

Che Guevara end up as President of Cuba.
Edgy left leaning youths will use T-Shirts with faces of (young) Fidel Castro printed on, while old Che Guevara end up being dictator of Cuba until 2015.

Che Guevara finally meet the pope in 2015 and as both men has close looks on social issues, Che surprised everyone by making confession rite to Pope Francis and announce his re-admission into Catholic church. He then step down from being leader of Cuba, holding a free election, and retire.
