If Kim Jong-Un did "clutch his chest and fall to the ground" as some rumours have it, then he was probably brain-dead before he got to the hospital, especially if the location was rural. There might not have been anything for the doctor to do, except go through the motions of installing a stent and hoping the patient wakes up some day.
At his age, being fat and a fan of tobacco and not a fan of exercising doesn't seem like quite enough risk factors to explain his sudden cardiac death, if that's what he got. Maybe he was poisoned, or maybe he had a congenital heart defect (these often cause heart attacks in the 30's). Or maybe none of the rumours are true and he did not clutch his heart and collapse but instead had a scheduled stent-implantation that was botched.
The obvious next Glorious Leader would be his sister, Kim Yo-Jong. She is said to be a nasty piece of work, so Kim Jong-Un's death (if he dies) will not lead to any improvement in NK's poor international relations.

Some reports indicate that China is worried.
