(NEWSER) – Kim Jong Il, North Korea's mercurial and enigmatic leader, has died. He was 69. Kim's death was announced today by, in Reuters' description, a "tearful" announcer, wearing black, on state television.
Kim reportedly died on a train trip; according to the announcer, he was en route to a location outside the capital where he was to give "field guidance." The BBC reports that the announcer explained the "Dear Leader" died of physical and mental over-work. Neighboring South Korea has apparently put its military on alert.
