North Korean leader Kim Jong Il is dead, North Korean state TV said Monday.
Kim, 69, died Saturday, state TV said.
South Korean news agency Yonhap — which based its reporting on its monitoring off North Korean state television — said that Kim had died of “physical fatigue” during a train ride. North Korean TV did not provide a more specific cause of death.
The son of Kim Il Song, the founder of the communist nation, Kim Jong Il had been in power since 1994 when his father died of a heart attack at age 82.
