N. Korea Dictator Kim Jong-un Reportedly Dead After Botched Heart Surgery

Kim Jong-un is reportedly about to kick the bucket, or already has.

North Korea's Supreme Leader/dictator Kim Jong-un has reportedly died, or is on his death bed with no hope for recuperation -- according to media outlets in China and Japan.

Amid reports China has sent a medical team to their communist neighbors this week to check in/advise on Kim, a Hong Kong-backed news channel's vice director -- who's apparently the niece of a Chinese foreign minister -- blasted out the news herself ... he's dead.

The woman put the report on a social media app called Weibo for her nearly 15 million followers to read, citing a "very solid source" about the claim Kim had, in fact, perished. A Japanese magazine reports he's in a "vegetative state" after a heart surgery gone wrong.

The outlet reports -- citing a Chinese medical expert privy to the situation -- that Kim had clutched his chest in early April and fell down while visiting the countryside there. He needed a stent procedure done, but apparently ... it either wasn't done rapidly enough, or it was botched completely by the surgeon -- with some reports saying he had shaky hands.

This is insane if true but I'm also sort of amused that TMZ has its spies in NK lol

Imagine how dead the surgeon is who worked on him is. Like, his family is dead. Not just dead but tortured to death.

His name will be erased for anything but scorn. That's some terrifying shit.

As a bunch of are saying in the other thread, wait until there's a source that's a bit more official. They might usually be great at reporting celebrity deaths, but this entire article is just speculation and nothing definitive. "Reportedly", "according to", etc. They might be able to slip people money in coroner's offices around the US, but I doubt they've infiltrated NK to the extent that they'd be the first to definitively be able to say "Yep, he's dead". Look at Japanese, South Korean, or Chinese news or something like AP or Reuters.

Until there's a more reliable source, this thread needs to be locked.

I think he's probably dead or a vegetable but if you open the article the sources are nothing new and they don't sound entirely sure.

TMZ getting the scope on major international politics is another sign that 2020 is the end times.

I mean, is this new? They're reporting on other media saying something that has been said for 2ish days now.

No shit the surgeon had shaky hands, I can't imagine how scared he was. And now he probably has been executed because he was scared. Poor guy...
