    They most likely tortured him terribly for a while, and then got order to stop and wait until all his wounds are healed so they can send him back… the only wound that was still there was on his foot, so they might’ve used like a sledgehammer to torture him on his feet and that one just was taking so long to heal… or they did it so he couldn’t run away….who knows….what a sick country, hope whoever had anything to do with him gets worse punishment one day

    I feel bad but this is why Americans shouldn’t joke about North Korea’s situation and send young people there. I see a lot of Christians go on missionary trips and they fail to understand what’s at risk there, yet bring in literal teenagers who of course clueless. The privileges Americans are so used to when going abroad mean nothing to them. Westerners shouldn’t assume they can get away with everything, especially white tourists. My korean family knows the cruelty of what war and abusive leadership does to a country’s people, it’s not something that should be taken lightly.

    This is a long exposition of what I think actually happened. Otto was definitely set up by the North Korean secret service. Basically they made up the whole mistery with the 5th floor just to be able to eventually accuse a young, reckless, American tourist of stealing a poster which the whole world already knew, is one of the biggest fellonies in North Korea. Let's use common sense for a second. If the 5th floor had really been off limits and used for surveillance equipment or security staff, so in short sensitive secret inteligence, it would have been impossible for anyone to get to that floor, period and anyone who might have tried, would have ended up in prison instantly. But an online video shows that in 2011 another young guy snicked in and filmed the propaganda posters on this infamous 5th floor, without anyone from the regime saying anything. Do you really think they didn't know he was there filming? I tell you they wanted that guy to show that film, just so that the public knows about this "forbidden" 5th floor and what is there,so they can create context for the future set up of an inocent American. Now let's say that Otto had really tried to pull off this suicidal action, if they cared so much for catching an American doing anything to their holy posters on those walls, he would have been caught on sight, not just caught on a grainy potato quality cctv video that makes it impossible to identify if Otto was there or an alien was there. This proves that North Koreans had been waiting for the right American tourist to frame for this and for the right time to do so. So because they could not catch him on sight, as he was never there, they created the video. Just think about the actual quality of this video. If you start on the premise that the 5th floor is a trap and it is, (but only as a pretext in this case), I bet they actually have state of the art surveillance cameras in each corner to catch anyone wondering around the propaganda posters. Instead, all they show ,is a potato quality, pixelated video which doesn't contain Otto walking away from,or towards any camera, or not even his face, just a shade of a person taking a poster. This just shows that Otto had never been there, because otherwise they could have shown a longer, more detailed video with his entrance, movements, exit and especially his face would have been clear to see. So this 5th floor is a trap in real life, as it physically exists, has the quality surveillance ,but in the case of Otto only really matters from the perspective of their fabricated story. In consequence, because he was not there, there's no quality video and they were forced to make one up, in which you cannot see his face, come one people,think.The Koreans didn't care for the realness or validity of their accusation. Otto was the right age, right mentality of a reckless explorer who decides out of the blue to cut short his trip in China and visit North Korea. The Koreans exploited the fact that he had already done something childish, like taking a tour to North Korea, without any serious preparations and with a dubious company, which they had known for a long time, would eventually bring young Americans, that tick all the boxes for them to be able to hold them accountable for something they never did. Again if North Koreans really wanted to make a solid case against an American, by proving the accusation of ripping posters from the walls of the 5th floor, they would have been able to catch Otto on sight, or second best, get him on camera and a good one this time and nobody would be able to say anything contrary about it. Imagine that this is the state where militia and secret police is literally everywhere, at any given time, as all the people inform about everyone , so an empty, off limits floor is just a trap for our better judgment, an illusion, it is a pretext for the regime to blame the right American for something he/she never did, because everyone else already considers this as an easy to fall in trap for someone as inexperienced like Otto. It is a simple manipulation of the whole world's judgement. You create a pretext for something plausible to happen and then you can accuse exactly and the only one that fits in the already fabricated story . This way, you have already created the grounds for that thing to happen and you just make a fake video and that's it. Also, it is said that Otto was actually spotted by a hotel staff member, but nobody retained him to question what he was doing, until the during flight check in,for the homecoming. That is because the strategy of how to perfectly frame Otto, had not been sorted out, until the final 2 days of their staying and doing it any time sooner would have given Otto and the USA, time to make a move. I believe that the video which allegedly shows Otto taking down a post, had been fabricated a short time before the moment of their planned departure. Also the fact that they lied to the tourist company about Otto being sick and that being the reason why he can't go back with them, shows that they needed time to coerce, even torture poor Otto, into submission, to later make him admit anything. This was made so that anyone trying to prove Otto not guilty, could not do anything, untill the trial when Otto himself confessed what they instructed him to confess. The suicide story brought up by those who say he was not tortured, is nonsense as he accepted to look like a coward and say anything they wanted him to say in an effort to stay alive. And in this regard taking his own life is the opposite of what he was trying to do. But after all Otto should have never gone there in the first place, especially because of the extreme tensions of that moment between North Korea and the USA. At the time when Otto went there, they were constantly bragging about building and testing their first hydrogen bomb and while the world was super alerted about this and against any minimal basic logic, he went there anyway,just to prove he was a brave man, not a boy. I also believe that from all the information available at the moment, he was depraved of oxygen for long periods of time and was also heavily drugged to stay alive and this way he ended up brain dead. So they did torture him, but not by beating him, cause that would have left scars but destroying him from the inside left no marks on the body. Also they knew that using this kind of torture, the truth of what actually happened would never come to light, because they knew about his religion and that his family would never allow an autopsy. The regime used him to attack, America, his Church and the CIA for the purpose of their internal propaganda and for possibly mellowing the sanctions against them for the later testing of the hydrogen bomb, by using him as a negotiation leverage. After they got away with the bomb testing they decided to give Otto back but in such a horrifying state, that anyone in the free world would fear their terror. Also it was crucial for them to return Otto alive but incapable of talking, so that they can still say they did not violate human rights and that they can keep the tourism going. In conclusion this is clear as day, that Otto was killed for being the right person, at the right time, around (not at) the right place. I am 1 month older than Otto, and I was born in a former comunist country of Romania so I have heard a lot about the methods of manipulation and the ugly soviet ways of getting the population into submission, that Ceaușescu used which are similar to the ones used by Kim. So I empathize with the whole situation, that's why I wanted to write my thoughts about it. RIP Otto!

    It's a tragic story. A young man's life is wasted. Let this be a reminder to us all, don't go there. When all this is said, he chose to go there by him self. The ad said, your mother don't want you to go. He did. He knows it's a cruel regime, with severe punishment. He broke the law. He chose this. I know he is young, and he might not grasp the consequences, he'll I don't. I can't imagine the pain and suffering he's gone through. Not to forget his family. But when foreigners visit my country, I want them to obey the law. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. To us, the penalty is out of proportion. It's their law. If we don't like them, or don't respect them. Stay the f... away. May he rest in peace.

Not guilty doesn't mean innocent, it simply means guilt was not proven. The video is unidentifiable and the confession has a good chance of being coerced. They have a history of kidnapping foreigners and they have a known history of torture and maltreatment. The dude literally came back a vegetable and died.
