True.they didn't prove it was a hoax they are just giving reasons why a lot of the reporting is inconsitent in North Korea and nothing can be trusted but proving is a hoax is a different animal like having video of the actual death would prove this rumor to be a hoax...an article talking about there is no way to verify anything in North Korea does not mean its a hoax it just means things are tough to verify
I should have said "rumor" instead of "hoax".
