North Korea dictator Kim Jong Un is reportedly dead, according Hong Kong Satellite Television network HKSTV.
The network claimed that Kim was dead, citing a “very solid source.” A vice director of HKSTV posted the news on the Chinese messaging app Weibo and has been shared widely on social media, according to a report in the International Business Times.
Meanwhile, a Japanese magazine is reporting that North Korea’s strong man is in a “vegetative state” after he underwent heart surgery earlier this month.
Other unconfirmed reports, attributed to official sources in Beijing, said an operation to insert a stent went wrong because the surgeon’s hands were shaking so badly.
This is a developing story.
