Dead?

I think Wikipedia has jumped too early to say that he is dead.--Jack Upland (talk) 03:47, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it to reportedly executed (from executed) and added not confirmed by North Korea.[CNN]] ,BBC and most sources say he has been executed we need to mention it.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 05:56, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Most news sources that I have seen say it is reported that he was executed - a report by a South Korean MP of a intelligence briefing. From what I have seen, the SK intelligence service hasn't confirmed this yet. But reports are still coming in.--Jack Upland (talk) 09:22, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you check, every single news source is citing that single MP, and that MP got it from this website http://www.hrnkinsider.org/2015/04/unusual-activity-at-kanggon-military.html , which used a ton of conjecture. I'd call the entire thing speculation and rumor. After all, since when didn't North Korea broadcast executions? (Downix (talk) 16:48, 13 May 2015 (UTC))[reply]
