A video of a dead body placed inside a coffin surrounded with flowers is doing the rounds on social media. It is being claimed that this video confirms the death of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un who hasn’t been in the public eye lately. The leader’s absence from the commemoration of his grandfather Kim Il-sung\u2019s 108th birthday on April 15 has fuelled rumours of his death. A Twitter user posted the video with the message, “Confirmed North Korea Dictator Kim Jong UN is Dead.”<\/p>\n
