North Korean Leader dies on train
North Korea's leader Kim Jong-il has died, reportedly during a train ride.
According to local media, the 69-year-old Kim Jong-il died of "physical fatigue" during a train ride on Saturday, though a later report said he died of a heart attack. Kim is thought to have had a stroke in 2008 and suffered from diabetes and heart disease. He came to power in 1994 after his father passed away, and his son Kim Jon-un will be his successor.
The funeral will take place on December 28.
