  • Kim ‘training daughter to take over’ as 22-stone tyrant’s health deteriorates

    Kim ‘training daughter to take over’ as 22-stone tyrant’s health deteriorates

    NORTH Korean tyrant Kim Jong-un is grooming his young daughter for the top job after getting morbidly fat again, South Korean spies say.

    It’s believed Kim, 40, is suffering from high-blood pressure and diabetes, weighing a whopping 140kg – or 22st – despite standing at 170cm.

    Now he is said to be training his daughter up to take the reins as Supreme Leader – even though she is said to be just 11 years old.

    Kim, a boozy operator also known for his smoking, comes from a bloodline beleaguered by heart issues.

    He took over from his father Kim Jong-il in 2011 when he died from a huge heart attack.

    Prior to that, Kim Il-sung suffered a sudden heart attack in 1994.

    Current-day Kim appeared to have lost a heap of weight around 2021, but South Korea’s chief spy agency believes he’s put it all back on.

    The National Intelligence Service (NIS) revealed to South Korean politicians that he is sending the scales off the charts at 140kg and therefore is at high risk of heart disease.

    The NIS says Kim’s daughter, Kim Ju-ae, could be next in line for the thrown.

    The secretive North Korea hasn’t divulged her official age but the NIS believes she is about 11.

    Although she is yet to be officially designated his successor, she has set tongues wagging since late 2022, attending numerous events alongside her infamous father.

    According to local reports, NIS secretary Park Sun-won said: “Kim Ju-ae is hinted at as a strong successor and is undergoing successor training.”

    He added: “How North Korea refers to Kim Ju-ae and what activities she appears in are very significant.

    Intelligence Committee secretary Lee Seong-won said: “Kim Jong-un is extremely obese, weighing 140kg and in his 40s with a body mass index that greatly exceeds the normal level … putting him at high risk for heart disease.”

    “We have determined that he has been showing symptoms of high blood pressure and diabetes since his early 30s.

    “If he does not improve his current health, there is a possibility that he may develop cardiovascular disease, which is a family history, so we are closely monitoring him.”

    Others speculated his heavy drinking and smoking were behind the weight gain.

    Kim decided to keep his 40th birthday celebrations low-key amid rumours of his health battle in January.

    But the Supreme Leader has recently been snapped by state media out in public as North Korea deals with a flood crisis.

    Record-breaking rain lashed the country, leaving thousands stranded and prompting Kim to declare an emergency.

    Pictures showed the leader travelling through flooding in a car, with his puffy face peering out the window inspecting damage.

  • One of the world’s fattest men found dead in home he’d been trapped for years

    One of the world’s fattest men found dead in home he’d been trapped for years

    A MAN who weighed more than three baby elephants and lived on his sofa has been found dead after he vowed to shed pounds.

    Leonid Andreev had been a prisoner in his own home for five years weighing 44 stone but he had just started to turn his life around.

    Only a day before Andreev died he had told local media how he was planning a new life of losing weight and moving to a city apartment.

    The 60-year-old revealed that he had started a new diet with just a cup of light soup for lunch.

    He said: “I tried to lose at least a little weight – I ate less and did not indulge in flour products.”

    Andreev’s body was discovered in his village home in Armizonskoye, Russia, on November 17 after he suffered a heart attack.

    Andreev had shocked reporters when he told them that he once used to be an athlete, weighing in at just 11 stone.

    Ten years ago, he was a hunter, ran his own farm, and took part in harvesting the crops.

    He said his weight problems began when he left a career in the army.

    In just three months, his weight nearly doubled to 16 stone and it never stopped rising.

    Doctors apparently told him that his weight gain was caused by a metabolic disorder.

    Five years ago Andreev’s size had ballooned so much he had to quit work and he began his reclusive life on the sofa.

    In an ongoing health crisis, his blood pressure soared so high he called for an ambulance but after controlling his symptoms paramedics refused further aid because of Andreev’s weight.

    Andreev described a miserable existence and said for five years he lived and slept on his sofa watching TV all day while neighbours helped clean and take care of his house.

    He shared his monotonous daily routine, “In the morning, I get up, cook food, eat a little, watch TV. Tried to move here, move there.

    “I used to have porridge – the heaviest, well, and buns, potatoes, bread. That’s how I got fat, probably,” he said.

    Andreev was married and divorced twice and had no children.

    Doctors had warned him he had to lose at least seven stone to be able to live normally again, but he waited too late to act.

    Despite Andreev’s astonishing mass there are others even heavier.

    The fattest man who ever lived, Jon Brower Minnoch, weighed 100 stone.

    Despite Andreev’s astonishing mass, there are others who have surpassed his huge size.

    The fattest man who ever lived weighed a whopping 100 stone while the fattest man alive today weighed an astonishing 93 stone.
