American Student held by North Korea dies Adjust content blocking bionicpanda Channel: politics next random Comment Top NextComment Otto Warmbier, the American college student who spent 17 months in detention in North Korea, died Monday afternoon in Cincinnati, Ohio, his family said in a statement. "It is our sad duty to report that our son, Otto Warmbier, has completed his journey home. Surrounded by his loving family, Otto died today at 2:20 p.m.," the statement said. The 22-year-old returned to the United States last week. Warmbier did not talk, move in any purposeful way or respond to verbal communication. In a news conference last Thursday, doctors called his condition "unresponsive wakefulness," and revealed he had suffered significant brain damage during his imprisonment. The North Korean government said botulism is to blame for Warmbier's condition, but US doctors said they found no evidence of the illness. Doctors say the reason for the severe brain damage could be from anything, from shock from hard labor sentence to severe beatings. Either way the North Korean government is to blame. next Otto Warmsies, American student detained in North Korea for 17 months, dies ... +1154 Views: 52461 Submitted: 06/19/2017 Facebook Twitter Google+ Tumblr Pinterest Related Top Content: Waifu 3348 mr been 3045 Fascist trump? 2717 Arrr 2578 Inmigración 2976 Anthropology is racist 2877 Nyine Raphep Setr Fislop 2859 Liberals 2843 Brian Wu Misgenders Someone 2780 Deep 2762 Gender politics 2703 Mass Demonetization By Youtube 2602 Can You Believe Obama? 2599 CNN at its best 2553
