North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is claimed to be in a coma which "could spell disaster for the country".
The former aide to South Korea’s late president Kim Dae-jung made the claim about the leader days after he handed over some powers to his younger sister.
Chang Song-min told South Korean media: “I assess him to be in a coma, but his life has not ended.
“A complete succession structure has not been formed, so Kim Yo-jong is being brought to the fore as the vacuum cannot be maintained for a prolonged period”, he told South Korean media.
A few days ago the National Intelligence Service (NIS) announced Jong-un will still "exert absolute power" but he will gradually transfer his authority to Kim Yo-jong "to ease stress".
