This young mans father makes the false assumption that North Korea is a "modern" nation and that they have "top notch" medical facilities. It just doesn't make any sense at all as to WHY anyone would want to go to North Korea in the first place.

Obviously NK tortured Otto to the point where he couldn’t reveal secrets about the North Korean government. It was enough to keep him silent and alive for the time needed to get him home. Imagine what Otto could have shared about NK if he was still alive and communicable.

What the fuck would anyone think its a good idea to go to north korea?!

S3R3ND1P1TY let me restrain from a comment, but I hope you understand

The autopsy showed no broken/healing bones. They probably used a torture method of something heavy on his body, that slowed down his breathing so much that his brain was deprived of oxygen. Being that he was tall, strong, healthy American they thought he could withstand the torture. Electronic shocks to his foot, magnified the pain. Causing his heart and brain to fail. His body didn't have bed sores and they tried their best to nurse him back to health. They didn't want him to die, but they could not help him to recover. So sad for the family. I don't believe the person in the video is Otto. It was a set up. He was young, naive and was supposed to be used as a bargaining tool. So sad, so wicked.

What he went through must have been crazy and scary as shit

When will we get a documentary movie or series about this?

Very heartbreaking story. Many comment that he shouldn't have gone to North Korea. Although true nobody deserves to have this happen to them. It's too bad the previous administration didn't do more sooner, when they had the opportunity. (If you hear all the efforts the family made and their opinion, which I note was not mentioned.)

Bastards😡God Bless and peace to his grieving family 😥

This young man inhumanely tortured you can see that by the way he looked god knows what this young man went true And otto knew what he went through I cannot believe for suppose to be stealing a a poster cost him his life but hes in a better place right now hes with god and in heaven these things do not exist all praise and glory to god the lord of lords and king of kings thank you jesus amen

An American arriving like that is so embarrassing. Definitely a true President is needed. American life’s aren’t what they use to mean

It was staged ottos alive. Otto was used by the government. It was a set up by the governments to make them have to meet a year later and sign an agreement. Otto set it up in North Korea so his friends had access to the 5th floor. They have no internet in North Korea so no one would be dumb enough to risk going to the fifth floor without checking what happens if they did. Otto convinced them saying nothing would happen and was able to get them access. The guards were taken away for 30 minutes while they went there and camera men who monitors 5th floor where told to not do anything. They then let them all go to the airport. They made sure to let all of the others leave except Otto so they can tell the media in usa. They let all his friends go with there mobile and camera footage. They had a grainy image taking a poster and photos of the 5th floor showing a nuke heading for USA. If it wasn’t a set up of course they’d take there mobiles and cameras. Its so silly to think they’d just take Otto and do nothing else. To be able to make the plan work they made the footage Of Otto stealing the poster grainy so North Korea had no proof it’s him and didn’t really need to charge him. That way he didn’t do anything wrong and can stay safe while the plan unfolds. They could then let him go back to USA as they can’t convict him by there laws. He was hiding and wasn’t harmed in North Korea. He was acting the whole time. When he got back to USA he was taken away as quick as possible. There’s no footage of Otto after he returned to USA other than just him laying there for a brief time as they don’t want to show him and his parents or talk to much about it so they can fool everyone.

He doesn't look like someone who would want to steal a propaganda poster. If you've done any research on otto, you'd know his "speech" was proof he was being framed. Something else is behind the picture here we are not quite getting.

REST IN PEACE ALL BECAUSE HE STOLE A POSTER SO SAD

Gator don't take no shit

CINCINNATI (AP) - Otto Warmbier, an American college student who was released by North Korea in a coma last week after almost a year and a half in captivity, died Monday, his family said. The 22-year-old "has completed his journey home," the family said in a statement. "Unfortunately, the awful, torturous mistreatment our son received at the hands of the North Koreans ensured that no other outcome was possible beyond the sad one we experienced today," his parents said. Doctors had described his condition as a state of "unresponsive wakefulness" and said he suffered a "severe neurological injury" of unknown cause. His father, Fred Warmbier, said last week that he believed Otto had been fighting for months to stay alive to return to his family. Their statement Monday said he looked uncomfortable and anguished after returning June 13, but his countenance later changed. "He was peace. He was home, and we believe he could sense that," they said. Warmbier was convicted of subversion after he tearfully confessed that he had tried to steal a propaganda banner while visiting with a tour group from China. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison with hard labor in North Korea. The University of Virginia student was held for more than 17 months. His family said they were told he had been a coma since soon after his March 2016 sentencing. Doctors said he suffered extensive loss of brain tissue and "profound weakness and contraction" of his muscles, arms and legs. His eyes opened and blinked but without any sign that he understood verbal commands or his surroundings. North Korea said he went into a coma after contracting botulism and taking a sleeping pill. Doctors in Cincinnati said they found no active sign of botulism or evidence of beatings. His parents told The Associated Press in a statement the day of his release that they wanted "the world to know how we and our son have been brutalized and terrorized by the pariah regime " and expressed relief he had been returned to "finally be with people who love him." Fred Warmbier praised his son's "performance" and President Donald Trump's administration. He was critical of the approach to his son's situation taken by former President Barack Obama's administration.

strange kid

hoping that USA can do something to save his life.. sorry probably was late ....Dearest OTTO we never forget about You!!!!!

North Korean government is watching this

And Kim Jong Un paying for what they did to this kid. Kim, you can't escape divine justice.

He obviously was far from "brilliant"

RIP Otto..Our prayers are with you.

He was probably subjected to drowning torture n beaten up causing his blindness n deafness later

You can even see them hitting him against the door

This will be easy for Trump to sweep under the rug because Trump said the Kim Jong Un was unaware of this guy’s problem. Otherwise Kim Jong Un, being the great humanitarian that he is, would intervened in his behalf. Trump says Kim Jong Un is a great guy.

I've watched a lot of reports regarding this case but I haven't heard a single "THE POSTER WAS FOUND IN HIS BAG/LUGGAGE" so idk. I guess the nationals just eenie meenie miney moe the tourists and landed on him. But if it's him, if he really did steal the poster, then why? :/

😢

I honestly do not understand why anybody would like to go to North Korea. There are countries that even if they give me a free ticket and put me in a 5 star hotel on a all you can eat stay l will politely decline.😂

My thoughts and prayers are with his family. I wish he wouldn't have gone to DPRK and especially wish he wouldn't have stolen from them.

The probably dunked him water by his foot or used somethin to hold him by his foot. Tortured him n let his open wounds heal n bruises for a year before the release

Apparently he was going to stick that big ass sign in his suitcase and take it home, according to North Korea. But the sign is huge and why would he set in the ground like that.

Daniel Lovegreen because it was metal and heavy.

Too bad he could not have just slipped it back into the frame and left it as he found it. Maybe they would have still waterboarded him though.

I’ve been studying phycology ,body language and medicines for over 30 years. I can tell by his body language NK scripted the entire poster bs. They tortured him to say it. He also seems a bit mechanic. I was watching other videos, him picking up the pen to sign a paper when he was detained. It doesn’t seems right. I’m guessing he got drugged with some sort of chemical injection. You would also expect better video camera quality from the security camera on the 5th floor. And How is parents describe him after being detained for 18 months gives me an idea of what they did to him. If you are curious I will give you a reply at your own risk.
