WHY DID HE DIE?! And the family not allowing an autopsy and the government not insisting on one is very suspicious. I don’t want to dismiss the North Korean’s fault in this but it is very curious that an autopsy is being skipped. I suspect they know quite well why he died and don’t want any official record. Sad if this becomes a part of a cause for war and a fake one. We don’t need another repeat of Bush junior stirring up a war in Iraq based on lies.
That all adds up to a known killer of Jewish people. Tay-sachs usually kills in early childhood, but not always. It kills by destroying some of all parts of the brain. Eventually leads to coma and death. Known disease, no autopsy.
It has become common practice in the States to starve and dehydrate people with severe brain injuries. It’s typically done as soon as possible, before anyone has a chance to cause a scene. I don’t know if that’s what happened here, but it wouldn’t be unusual.

I think they pretty much covered what killed him. He was DOA on arrival IMO. And likely died in N.Korea soon after his sentencing.Some have said he strangled himself/or the N.Koreans did but failed...which would account for the lack of oxygen etc. to his brain. They just hooked him up to a feeding machine to keep his body going...the fact they would not let Swedan check on him evidences his death was early on.
