Rumours circulated last concerning the health of Kim, everything from he was recuperating following cardiovascular surgery, to he was brain dead, to he was dead.
- Kim was last seen in public April 11.
- He missed NK test missile firings on April 14
- He missed the 'Day of the Sun" celebration of his grandfather and the country's founder, Kim Il Sung on April 15.
ps. I have seen tweets in the past hour saying he is, in fact, dead. Includes a pic of Kim lying in state, but it appears to be faked (at the very least unconfirmed).
