North Korea says U.S. student's death a "mystery to us as well"
By Jack Kim | SEOUL
North Korea said on Friday the death of U.S. university student Otto Warmbier soon after his return home was a mystery and dismissed accusations that he had died because of torture and beating during his captivity as "groundless".
The North's foreign ministry spokesman also said in comments carried by the official KCNA agency that Warmbier was "a victim of the policy of strategic patience" of former U.S. President Barack Obama whose government never requested his release.
"The fact that Warmbier died suddenly in less than a week just after his return to the U.S. in his normal state of health indicators is a mystery to us as well," the spokesman was quoted by KCNA as saying.
Warmbier, 22, was arrested in the reclusive country while visiting as a tourist. He was sentenced to 15 years of hard labour for trying to steal an item bearing a propaganda slogan from his hotel, North Korea state media said.

P!
A coma is a normal state of health?
How did NORK healthcare keep him alive for so long when the UuS health care couldn’t?
I call BS. Like the North Vietnamese never tortured our POWs either. I worked directly for a POW, and he told me to my face that if, in a dark alley, he ever ran into one of the Neanderthals that tortured him, there would be a murder on the police blotter the following morning. Who could blame him? And, snowflake lurkers from DU, if you don’t like that you can ESAD.
This is a land where they can turn a pine cone into a grenade. They can do miracles we never dream of. /s
...nah! That's too quick and merciful. Crushing his testes against a concrete floor with a sledge-hammer is no good either, he'll just pass out.
Burn his hands off with a blow-torch? Now that has some promise... especially with a spinal. He'd see and smell everything, and the horror would be mind-numbing for him, but he'd remain conscious and not feel anything until the spinal was removed...
...I do hope the President is still monitoring FR. I'll volunteer to be re-commissioned if he'll give me the Op.
You know my number, Mr. President.
NORKs are most likely not telling the truth.
Condolences to the family.
Why would any American “visit” the Hermit Kingdom?
In North Korea, yes. South Korea, too. How else do you explain Bonky Moon?
You’re good. :)
If I wanted to make it quick. I’d use the fat little boys method of strapping him to the muzzle of an anti aircraft gun. But that is too easy on the little $h!t.
Growing food is a mystery to them.
A century ago Asians had a technique called the death of a thousand cuts. The victim was doped up (morphine?) in a waking state so he wouldn’t pass out from shock while bits and pieces were slowly cut away.
Who knows, but Lil’ Kim may have used it against his enemies already.
This is North Korea we’re talking about, they still operate from a “The Earth is flat”, “The socialist state works” and “killing enough of our own people will improve moral” perspective. What else would we expect from them?
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.
Never. Requested. His. Release.
