Kim Jong Nam, Kim Jong Un's half brother, died from poisoning at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia on Sunday. An autopsy showed that his death was similar to that of VX poisoning. In large doses, VX poison can cause convulsions, paralysis, loss of consciousness and death because of respiratory failure. He died fifteen to twenty minutes after poisoning, Malaysia's Health Minister, Dr. Subramaniam Sathasivam says. Dr. Sathasivam also says that his final moments would have been "painful," and also adds that Kim Jong Nam passed out in a clinic and died in the ambulance. VX could be passed by poisoning of water, food, or spraying the poison in the victim's face. Malaysian health officials say that VX was found on Kim Jong Nam's face and in his eyes. South Korean officials claim that Kim Jong Un ordered the hit on his half-brother. So far there are three suspects (who aren't North Koreans) in custody, four North Korean suspects, and three North Koreans wanted for questioning. Apparently, VX traces could still be in the airport.
