American Student held by North Korea dies Adjust content blockingContent Blocking bionicpanda Rank: #48 Channel: politics next random Comment Top Next Comment 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: 52479 Submitted: 06/19/2017 Facebook Twitter Google+ Tumblr Pinterest Unblock User's Content Block User's Content Unblock Channel Content Block Channel Content Related Top Content: Sounds like child abuse 3576 Cards Against Common Sense 2753 Girls on the Internet’s success explained 2508 This number should be 0 2054 I would watch it 2710 Curing Marxism 2631 nah 2600 lively nippy horrible Lapwing 2493 Sexual harassment 2444 Pisug Ytuctof Tochimugl 2429 Meanwhile in South Africa... 2410 Sambyoch Edinilt Umercalyod 2405 It’s happening 2387 I wonder why... 2324
