Kim Jong Il’s Sister Laid Up In Coma From Boozing
Kim Kyong Hui, 63, is said to be unconscious and may be in a coma, South Korea’s Dong-a Ilbo newspaper said, citing the Japan-based, pro-North Korean General Association of Korean Residents.
The sister, who is married to top Workers’ Party official Jang Song Thaek, also reportedly is suffering from brain damage triggered by alcoholism, the report said, citing an unnamed member of the association who travels to Pyongyang frequently.
South Korea’s Unification Ministry and the National Intelligence Service said they could not confirm the report.
