SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- Kim Jong Il, North Korea's mercurial and enigmatic leader, has died. He was 69.

Kim's death was announced Monday by state television from the North Korean capital, Pyongyang.

Kim is believed to have suffered a stroke in 2008 but appeared relatively vigorous in photos and video from recent trips to China and Russia and in numerous trips around the country carefully documented by state media.

The leader, reputed to have had a taste for cigars, cognac and gourmet cuisine, was believed to have had diabetes and heart disease.

The news came as North Korea prepared for a hereditary succession. Kim Jong Il inherited power after his father, revered North Korean founder Kim Il Sung, died in 1994.

In September 2010, Kim Jong Il unveiled his third son, the twenty-something Kim Jong Un, as his successor, putting him in high-ranking posts.

  • @EastenNinja I'm not sure. I hope so.

  • all the asians look the same.

  • Every country needs a strong leader. What is wrong with that.

  • Who in their right mind would mourn the death of a cartoon character?

  • @MichaelWilkinson9515 Who the hell doesn't want that to happen except the North Korean Government?

  • i want for south korea to take over north korea

  • @EastenNinja I hope they will~ but I doubted if that works even though the successor desires. Think about the people. they are not ready for a complete reform, even a slight reform to openness. Besides, think about those bureaucracy. I barely can come up a reason for that they will open up in a short period of time.

  • @zezimahunter1 A world war requires more than one aggressor and defender.

  • Good riddance
