Pudgy's Aunt Died of Stroke While Arguing with Him
2014-12-04
A North Korean defector claims North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's aunt Kim Kyong-hui died of a stroke during a heated argument with her nephew over the execution of her husband Jang Song-thek .
9 mm cerebral hemorrhage?
CNN reports that Kang Myung-do, a defector and now a professor of Kyungmin University, said Kim Kyong-hui suffered the stroke while she was arguing on the phone with Kim Jong-un a matter of days after Jang's execution. The defector says she was taken to hospital but later died.

North Korea experts say the claims could be true but are almost impossible to confirm.
What else would we expect experts to say?
Kim Kyung-hui has not been seen in public since Jang's execution late last year, sparking rumors of ill health or possible death.

#10  The Nork system's primary dictum:
Take care not to irk Little Big Kim!
One stroke of his phone or
His pen, you're a goner,
A cranial hemorrhage victim.

So typical of Fort Marcy Park syndrome. The number of lives claimed each year is virtually unknown.

#2  A stroke is a cerebral hemorrhage, which doesn't usually cause death unless accompanied by little pellets of lead.
