    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. TMZ has not confirmed that.

    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.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        If more outlets are citing the same two sources it doesn’t mean the odds have gone up that he is in fact dead. What we need to know is whether there are new and unique sources.

          He might just be miffed that COVID is getting all the attention.

              Jackass, you don't inject bleach. You inhale it.

                  If as a surgeon, a patient said to me, "I die,you die", I'd have shaky hands too.

                  We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.
                  Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on.

                    Any closer to resolution, or is this still Schrödinger's dictator?

                      Kim was not in such a low position in the hierarchy that he'd need to say that. Making threats is for the little people.

                        He remains alive at least until people have some narrative (thought experiment) around what life looks like after he is not alive.

                                FWIW South Korea is still asserting Kim is alive and well. Of course they could have political reasons for saying this but they are not one of the sources of his ill health.
