North Korea's Kim Jong Un in grave danger after surgery, or so they say
Rumors abound. Even Katy "Whut?" Tur at MSNBC is on it
Gastric bypass?
[NY Post] Earlier Monday, a South Korean media report said that the 36-year-old despot was being treated following a cardiovascular procedure earlier this month.

The reclusive leader missed the celebration of his grandfather’s birthday, the nation’s founder, Kim Il Sung, on April 15, sparking speculations about his health.

Kim underwent the surgery April 12 at a hospital in the Mount Kumgang resort county of Hyangsan and was recovering at a villa there, reported Daily NK, a website run mostly by North Korean defectors, citing unidentified sources inside the hermit kingdom.

The diminutive dictator’s health has deteriorated in recent months due to heavy smoking, obesity and overwork, the report said.



From Zero Hedge, courtesy of Clem:
Update (2252ET): Futures rebounded sharply after South Korea's Yonhap refuted reports that Kim Jong Un is seriously ill.

Update (2240ET): Bloomberg is now reporting that Kim is in a 'critical state,' according to a US official speaking on condition of anonymity.

US officials are now studying the North Korean line of succession.

Trump administration officials are looking into who would be in the line of succession if Kim Jong Un dies or is already dead, I'm told.
