Otto Warmbier Suffered 'Extensive Loss Of Brain Tissue,' No Sign Of Botulism
Otto Warmbier, the U.S. student freed this week after more than a year in North Korean detention, sustained "extensive loss of tissue" in all parts of his brain, his doctors say.
Warmbier has remained in a coma since his return, suspended in a state "best described as unresponsive wakefulness," Daniel Kanter, head of the neurocritical care program at University of Cincinnati Health, told reporters at a news conference Thursday.
