I suspect he was assassinated. Conjecture. Power struggle. Flag at DPRK embassy in Beijing is not at half mast. No discussion of Kim Jong Un as successor. Fasten seatbelts. Most Presidents would cancel a Hawaiian vacation over something this serious. Going to monitor DPRK radio right now and hear there take. They took over two days to make it public. He will never see his 2012 when N Korea was to come of age.
What about the missing North Korean anchor?
There probably is no connection, though.

Yes, there is quite possible.
Actually WSJ just reported the following -
Twitter:
State TV announced that Kim Jong Eun will take over as leader of North Korea-@wsjworld
I’m beginning to believe that Kim Jong-il’s passing could be the first event that could lead to a slow re-unification of Korean Peninsula—a process that could take up to 15 years to complete.
