North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un Has Died
According to the Daily Mail, rumors are circulating that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has died, including a senior Hong Kong journalist. Journalist Xi Jianxingzhou says he has learned from a highly credible source that Kim Jong Un has died.
On the other hand, a Japanese media outlet says that Kim Jong Un has undergone heart surgery and is now in good health.
Earlier, it was reported that China had sent a special team of doctors to North Korea to examine Kim Jong Un.
Japanese media say Kim Jong Un fell to the ground during a visit to the country due to chest pain. He was accompanied by a doctor who performed CPR on him and he was rushed to the hospital.
If Kim is dead, the final verification of his death might only come from North Korea state media. David Maxwell, a North Korea specialist at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies said, "When it comes to North Korea you can never be too sure until you hear the news from the country itself."
