N Korean leader Kim Jong-il dies
North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has died, state-run TV has announced.
His death was announced in an emotional statement read out on national television.
The announcer, wearing black, said he had died on Saturday of physical and mental over-work.
The BBC's Lucy Williamson in Seoul says his death will cause huge shock waves across North Korea.
Was just about to post this, wonder what will happen now.
Blame the west?
It's crazy how such a powerful man's birthday isn't even confirmed (Soviet Record state 1941 and N.Korean Records state 1941)!
At first I thought who?, Imagining Bruce Lee in my head.
But then it was explained as I read further.
You yanking my chain?
Never even seen Team America?
