An American student imprisoned in North Korea was returned to his family blind, deaf and howling incoherently on a stretcher, his parents have said, in their first interview since his death in June.

Fred and Cindy Warmbier's son Otto, 22, had travelled to North Korea as a tourist in January 2016. He was arrested and accused of removing a propaganda poster from his hotel, and sentenced to 15 years in prison.

The student fell ill shortly after he was sentenced, doctors believe. The North Koreans said he suffered from botulism and had a violent response to a drug given to help him.

He was denied visits by Swedish embassy officials, acting on behalf of the US, and it was not until June, when the extent of his illness became clear, that he was freed.

He returned to his hometown of Cincinnati on June 13, with his parents having been told shortly before he landed that he had suffered brain damage.

artilcle...

He's dead .. not blind

I hate warm beer

Sounds like propaganda

poor guy :(

I followed it in the news when it was hot, terrible story.

Did U.S. doctors not find any evidence as to what could have happened to him - some proof?

As I recall it they buried him quickly with no autopsy

"On Thursday, doctors said Warmbier had extensive loss of brain tissue, and was in a state of unresponsive wakefulness"

Interesting choice of words, I don't know if being in a coma causes you to "lose brain tissue" and "unresponsive wakefulness"

Reads like they chopped his brain up.

NK tortured him.

sure sounds like it :helpme

did you read "after his death?"

Read? Why do that when we can sum up everything about a person, story, or issue in 140 characters?
