Much has been said about the supposed death of Kim Jong-un, leader of North Korea. There is also news that he did not die, but is in a critical state of health.
The last photograph of Kim Jong-un, from April 12, shows the Korean leader inspecting military planes. Rumors about Kim's health began when, on April 15, he missed the 108th birthday celebrations of Kim Il-Sung, his grandfather, who died in 1994, revered in the country as a “Great Leader”.

What can we say about Kim Jong-un's death?
Days later, a website maintained by defectors from Kim's regime claimed that he had undergone a "cardiovascular procedure." Despite this, a statement issued by the White House stated that Kim was in serious condition. However, the American president, Donald Trump, said he believed such news to be false.
There are additional rumors that a delegation of Chinese doctors, which includes officials from China, traveled to North Korea to check on the dictator's health. Some reports in the Western press say that the North Korean leader is in critical health after undergoing cardiovascular surgery because of “excessive smoking, obesity and overwork.”

Maybe he's still alive
It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time that Kim Jong-un remains without giving news. According to Yonhap, a South Korean agency, there have been other situations in which the dictator did not appear for a period of time. So much so that at the beginning of this year, he didn't appear for 21 days. In 2014, this also happened. the dictator “disappeared” for almost a month and when he reappeared, he was limping as he had undergone ankle surgery. Also at this time there was speculation about a possible death.
Despite this, North Korean media continues to report on Kim's activities since news emerged alleging possible health problems. On Sunday, Rodong Sinmun, a North Korean state newspaper, published a thank you from Kim to the workers who worked on the renovation of the city of Samjiyon, in North Korea.
It is worth remembering that the North Korean government is considered one of the most closed regimes in the world. Therefore, it is “normal” not to mention the health status of your leader. But, today (26-04), they published a note stating that Kim is “alive and well” and that he has been in Wonsan since April 13th.
Despite the many assumptions, nothing can be declared regarding Kim Jong-un's health, as nothing has been proven. Information about your possible death have not been confirmed by the governments of countries that monitor North Korea, such as South Korea, Japan and China, its great ally.
