Doesn't take more than one source to know a fat leader that doesn't exercise and smokes might be in bad physical shape.

Fidel Castro, Augusto Pinochet, and Robert Mugabe all made it to 90. Khomeini died at 86, outliving the shah by quite a long time (though the shah was hardly a beacon of freedom and justice). Every Chinese paramount leader so far has lived to at least 80 save for Hu Jintao and XI Jinping, who are both still alive. Jiang Zemin is also still alive at the age of 93.

Whoa! Wonder what's doing him in?

TMZ is saying he's dead.

I saw article saying Japan believe he is vegetative state which is ironic since he probably never ate any vegetables in his life.

It might not be as clear-cut as that. Apparently, he was confident enough in his living a long and fruitful life that he never actually bothered to designate an official successor should anything happen to him. North Korea is technically still a republic rather than a monarchy, it's just been ruled by the same family for 70+ years because Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il were actually smart enough to have their line of succession sorted out.

I miss good ol' Breznev times, when commie leaders just caught colds, then, eventually and suddenly, *poof!*, dead, and everyone wondering what happened, while kremlinologists gloated even more self-pleased than usually and puffing their pipes they patronizingly explained just the things they thought puny mortals could ever hope to understand.

Probably jumping the gun not depending on the matter at all. That said, I haven't seen any credible reports of his death so far, so he's probably not dead (but could be).

Just thinking out loud, all call it daydreaming...But, what if he's dead and there's a large internal power struggle over his successor, and China gets involved...and they, by some act of miracle, allow South Korea to absorb the North and reunify the country. Wouldn't that be a huge gift to the world? Again, I know I'm dreaming, but it would be nice if it could possibly happen.
