Not that the victim probably cares much, but the method could be called "unusual".
Who knows what the real reasons are. I still don't get why no one assassinates this guy.

No one assassinated this guy probably because it takes a conspiracy close to Kim to do so. In an culture of informants no one can trust anyone else enough in North Korea to attempt to form any sort of conspiracy close to Kim.
Clearly Kim is working hard to rid this government of any official whose past or current posting might give him some form of power base and network of protégés which can support any conspiracy.
