      The body lying in state is of Kim Jong-il and not Kim Jong-un.

      There has been a lot of speculation around Kim Jong-un's health and possible death after it was reported that the North Korean Supreme Leader had had cardiovascular surgery. The North Korean dictator has been absent from public life from 11th April and was conspicuous with his absence at his father Kim Jong-il's anniversary celebrations on April 15th.

      The South Korean government and media have downplayed Kim Jong-un's rumoured death while the US government has stated that it is keeping a close eye on the reports coming out of the secretive nation.
