From two Iranian sources: Fars News Agency (http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9202244630)
Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz is reported to be clinically dead as the monarch has not recently been seen in public, reports said.
The Saudi Court has yet to comment on the report of King's death.
The aging Saudi monarch has not recently appeared in public and the country's crown prince is attending official meetings on behalf of him, an Iranian international news network quoted a Saudi journalist as saying that the monarch has been clinically dead since Wednesday.
The journalist also quoted medical sources in Saudi Arabia as saying that the king's vital organs, including his heart, kidneys and lungs, have stopped functioning. Doctors are said to have used a defibrillator on him several times, the Voice of Russia reported.
In April 2012, Saudi sources confirmed authenticity of earlier reports saying that King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz is "clinically dead", and said the footages released by the Saudi state-run TV which showed the King alive were from archive.
