SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- Kim Jong Il, North Korea's mercurial and enigmatic leader, has died. He was 69.

Kim's death was announced Monday by state television from the North Korean capital, Pyongyang.

Kim is believed to have suffered a stroke in 2008 but appeared relatively vigorous in photos and video from recent trips to China and Russia and in numerous trips around the country carefully documented by state media.

The leader, reputed to have had a taste for cigars, cognac and gourmet cuisine, was believed to have had diabetes and heart disease.

The news came as North Korea prepared for a hereditary succession. Kim Jong Il inherited power after his father, revered North Korean founder Kim Il Sung, died in 1994.

In September 2010, Kim Jong Il unveiled his third son, the twenty-something Kim Jong Un, as his successor, putting him in high-ranking posts.

The news surprised me, but apparently he's not been in good health.

Quite an innovator, considering he invented the hamburger and the invisible cell phone. Rest in peace.

Apparently he also shot a -38 in a round of golf, including 11 holes-in-one. Big loss for the golf world.

Fascinating that we lost Kim Jong Mentally Ill and Czech dissident and later President Vaclav Havel at the same time. Talk about a study in contrasts.

Funny how you don't really see any tears coming out of their eyes. I'm beginning to think these photos were staged and that the people were forced to be in them.

I thought Korea had a strict "No substitutions" policy.

For the sake of regional peace, I hope the Japs don't try to harpoon him.
