Shock from Third Son's Motorbike Accident Led to Kim Jong-il's Collapse

Japanese Monthly 'Will' reported in its latest issue that N. Korean leader Kim Jong-il collapsed from the shock that his third son Kim Jong-woon was injured in a motor cycle accident in early morning of Aug. 16, with no hope of recovery.

According to the monthly, Swiss and French doctors were urgently called into Pyongyang to treat Jong-woon, but they also ended up attending to Kim Jong-il when he collpased after seeing the grisly shape his son was in.

Jong-woon suffered stroke and have been kept alive with a respirator. Doctors declared that he has 'no chance of recovery'(coma.) The shocking news pushed Kim Jong-il into serious depression, according to the report.

Kim Jong-il was reportedly on his way to recovery for a while, but since Sept. 13, he suffered heart attack again and his recovery may not be possible.

This report was filed by a freelance writer 'Phillip Ho,’ who is half-European and half-N. Korean, 'Will' said that Phillip Ho had frequent contacts with European doctors who treated Kim Jong-il in person and was able to get this information.

Will is the 2nd highest-selling monthly magazine in Japan.

Interesting.  I imagine that he is probably already dead.  It will be even more interesting to see what happens with NK in the near future.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

After Great Leader and Dear Leader, what is next? Amazing Leader? :mental:

Doesn't he have one son that is one of "those people"?

So it may go Great leader, Dear Leader and then "Peter Eater". :-)
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
