Not confirmed. There are more reliable sources saying this guy is in vegetative state.

Yes that's why I posted a thread on this forum.
It's dead, trust me.

"how did you learn about kim jong un's death?"
"oh I saw it on a gaming website"

According to Hong Kong Satellite Television, the dictator is said to be dead, according to a "very solid source". According to other unconfirmed reports, an operation error occurred because the surgeon's hands trembled so violently.

There is no reliable sources right now, just a photoshopped picture people jumped the gun on.

He was rumored to have undergone heart surgery, and then didn't show up at an important event afterwards. So speculation started. I'm not up to date on the current state, but that was what was in the news a few days ago.
edit: Sources so far: CNN was reporting on the surgery citing US secret service sources.
On Saturday one of the co-heads of a chinese TV station in Hong Kong reported that he had died and cited "very reliable sources".
Nothing confirmed yet, though.
edit: Oh, and Reuters reported that a political delegation from China that included physicians had left peking on thursday, and that it was lead by one of the highest political contact officers for bilateral relations on the chinese side.

Japanese boulevard paper „Shūkan Gendai“ reported, that Kim hadn't reached consciousness after a Heart operation on April 12th, that he would currently be in a 'vegetative state' and could barely, if at all, be talked to, - caused by a seize of function in both cerebral lobes.
So thats the source for that (oddly specific) rumor.

This "news" is anything except well verified.
That said, at least this rumor lead to the Weekend at Kim's meme, sure made me laugh a little.

Anything I'm seeing on the Internet is saying he is alive and its a hoax. See here for instance

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

@
Veho:
But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
