It’s quite possible that he had taken the opportunity of being in a country with easier access to alcohol and drugs to go on a bender and ended up drowned. Remember Yeltsin standing outside the white house in his underwear pissed out of his gourd trying to hail a taxi to get pizza?
It happened in the late 90’s, but wasn’t revealed until about 2008 or 2009 (a year or two after Boris Yeltsin died). No, there is no video, at least none any of us would have access to.
Agents stopped him, but I’d remind that this was not that long after the USSR was dissolved, and he was apparently fairly skilled (even drunk) at evading his own security detail.
It happened multiple times during the same trip iirc, and agents did get him pizza.
I’m just imagining him climbing out of a bathroom window and sliding down a drain pipe, while screaming, “none of you understand me I hate all of you!”
Standing outside in your underwear drunk while hailing a taxi to get pizza sounds like a super American thing to do. He was really going for the true American experience!

I remember a few years ago, Russia had an unseasonably warm summer and a rash of drownings because they got drunk and couldn’t swim.

Also found a video from ADVChina about why most Chinese people can’t swim. I know China and NK aren’t the same, but the reasoning behind why most Chinese people can’t swim might apply to NK.
Pretty sure that was before my time.
I don’t suppose you have a video? Asking for a friend…
Though, again, their security detail is total shit if they let a drunken slob get that pissed and drown.
Delegations going abroad don’t get to go without an escort. especially from countries where the risk of defection is insanely high.

He was the President at the time.
I never heard this. But I’m surprised his security didn’t stop this. And just send someone out to get a pizza for him.
