Kim Jong Il. But now he’s dead.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-il died on Saturday on a train trip, a tearful state television announcer, dressed in black, reported on Monday.
In a “special broadcast” Monday from the North Korean capital, state media said Kim died of a heart ailment on a train due to a “great mental and physical strain” on Dec. 17 during a “high intensity field inspection.” It said an autopsy was done on Dec. 18 and “fully confirmed” the diagnosis.
Aussie Dave’s Kim Jong Il Death Odds
2:1 – Tripping over in his platform shoes
5:1 – Blood poisoning due to his hair dye
7:1 – Falling in to his crocodile pool while trying to feed them his enemies
10:1 – Bursting a blood vessel while watching Team America
20:1 – Photoshopping himself to death
1000:1 – Heart ailment on a train due to a great mental and physical strain during a high intensity field inspection
Meanwhile, in case you are wondering who’s the next-of-Kim:
The reclusive state had begun the process of transferring power to his son Kim Jong-un, believed to be in his late 20s.
I find it really appropriate that he has “UN” in his name.
Update: Footage of North Koreans weeping at the news.
