Biography
Kim Chaek (Chosongul: 김책, Hanja: 金策, 14 August 1903 – 31 January 1951) was a North Korean National resistance activist, general and politician. His real name was Hong-gye Kim (김홍계, 金洪啓).
He died in January 1951 after an American military air raid bombing. Some scholars believe that his death was an assassination after a power struggle, and caused by gas poisoning rather than an air strike
