If thats true, its either an internal coup d'etat or an attempt to justify some sort of external military adventure. The folks of Seoul and Tokyo will be getting nervous.

Either way, not exactly fantastic news for the stability of that region.

If true that is.

This will be another example of one of those rumours that someone posts on a place like Twitter and then it catches on and before you know it, it's become "fact" and it's reported in the media.

I'm willing to bet that Kim Jong-Un is not dead and is currently sitting in his palace somewhere in Pyongyang, happily tucking into his latest Big Mac and fries.
