Report says: Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah clinically dead
2013-05-27
Rolled over from yesterday. I have not found a confirmatory report in Al Jazeera, Arab News or the Straits Times, so the 48 Hour Rule is definitely in effect. Still, an interesting thought to ponder. Who is next in line, and what is known avout him?
Iranian Press TV - salt for flavor
Saudi journalist working for London-Based Asharq Alawsat says the Saudi monarch has been clinically dead since Wednesday.

He also quoted medical sources in Saudi Arabia as saying that the king's vital organs, including his heart, kidneys and lungs, have stopped functioning.
after they were removed?
Doctors are said to have used a defibrillator on him several times. He is also reported to be alive with the help of a ventilator.
so, he could be dead, alive, a vegetable, or an inert blanket with a fanbelt on it
The Royal Court has yet to comment on the report of King's death. The aging Saudi monarch has not recently appeared in the public and the country's crown prince is attending official meetings on behalf of him.

It is the second time in the past months that Asharq Alawsat reports the death of King Abdullah.

#4  Oddly enough, while there was no news last night whatsoever about King Abdullah beyond the above Iran PressTV report of his death, this afternoon he was remarkably resurrected.

#3  Is clinically dead the same as mostly dead?

#2  Oh well. Being dead isn't the setback it was in the old days. I understand Channel 27 has a dead person reading the news.
