North Korea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un Reportedly Dead At 36 After Heart Surgery Failure
Kim Jong-un, the notoriously dangerous supreme leader of North Korea, has reportedly died at 36 following a failed heart surgery.
Reports started rushing in from South Korea and state outlets in Hong Kong that Jong-un was on his death bed, or actually dead, but uncertainty has surrounded the reports, until now.
According to the niece of a Chinese foreign minister, Kim died shortly after the operation, with a Chinese medical expert saying the North Korean leader was visiting the countryside in early April when he collapsed whilst clutching his chest.

This meant he needed a stent procedure — an operation that requires accuracy due to the serious nature — something that a medical expert was unable to provide because of alleged “shaky hands” one source claims. He also missed a major military anniversary over the weekend, which screams bad news as usually, the dictator makes a formal appearance.
