There doesn't seem to be much to substantiate those rumors, and there have in fact been pictures of him attending various functions in the past several months that are credible according to experts on that sort of thing.
The rumors he has some medical problems and at least one serious surgery this year might be true, but maybe not the coma thing.
If I'd had to guess, the CCP was getting pretty nervous or upset about the diplomatic inroads Trump was making with Kim. So they pressed him somehow to lay low for a while and started the rumors of his demise.
This is just the sense I get from reading a lot of different sources on it. Everything is so much rumor and so little facts. It is North Korea though, so the guy could be dead for all we know.
