Malaysia Gives Kim Jong-nam's Family 2-3 Weeks to Claim Body

Malaysian health authorities are giving the North Korea leader's half brother Kim Jong-nam's next of kin two to three weeks to claim his body.

Health Minister Subramaniam Sathasivam told reporters on Monday that Kim is known to have a wife and children, and Malaysia hopes they will soon come forward to claim his body since he has been formally identified.

The minister said if no family steps forward, the Malaysian government will decide how to deal with the body through discussions with related ministries.
