Rest in peace, Otto. Yet another victim of world communism and its evil spread.

[Jane Long]

OMG.

RIP

They killed him 😢

I think they suffocated him.

[clintonh8r]

The family must be devastated.

The previous administration did little, if anything, to get this poor man released. Shame on them.

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

Thank God that this family can be consoled that he died in the USA and in their arms. May he rest in peace and may God comfort them and ease their suffering.

Good job President Trump and Secretary Tillerson bringing him home.

[ShivaFan]

That fat slob freak in North Korea is a hog that needs to be killed. NK needs to pay for this senseless murder of an American, I say kill the fatso.

[Obadiah]

I am speculating that they pulled the plug and let him die in peace.

[truth_seeker]

Let’s see if I have this right. Young fellow goes to NK in perfect health, held captive one year.

Released by NK with young man in coma, and he dies a few days later.

I hope the US doctors have determined his actual medical history.

Peace to his family and friends.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to go to NK in the first place. Certainly not a place I ever want to visit. Certainly wouldn't step out of line while I was there, if I ever did. Sad.

[DLfromthedesert]

I'm glad he was able to be with his family and out of that hellhole when he died. Prayers for his heartbroken parents. 😥

[M Kehoe]

Communism destroys, capitalism creates.

The evidence is plain to see.

RIP

Does anyone know why he was in Norklandia to begin with?

[HarleyLady27]

Oh No...I was so hoping that he would make it...

How sad, but at least he died with his family around him, and knowing that he will be with God and out of his misery...

RIP and God hold Your Hands around this family, after they have been through...bring them comfort and ease the pain they are feeling. Amen.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Very sad..his father was hoping for some kind of miracle to save him..RIP Otto

[PJBankard]

Sad.

Willing to be he was waterboarded to the point of asphyxiation, resulting in brain damage and the subsequent coma.

"Fred Warmbier stated that his son Otto was traveling in China at the end of 2015 when he saw a company offering trips to North Korea. He decided to go because he was adventurous, according to his father, who accused the tour operator of specifically targeting young Westerners with slogans like, "This is the trip your parents don't want you to take!" Fred Warmbier said the China-based tour operator, Young Pioneer Tours, advertised the trip as safe for U.S. citizens.[2]

Warmbier traveled to North Korea for a five-day New Year's tour of the country organized by Young Pioneer Tours. Ten other U.S. citizens were in his tour group.[4][14][15][16][17] During his stay at the Yanggakdo International Hotel in Pyongyang, Warmbier allegedly stole a propaganda sign from a staff-only floor of the hotel.[18] The poster said, "Let's arm ourselves strongly with Kim Jong-il's patriotism!". Harming such items with the name or image of a North Korean leader is considered a serious crime by the government.[19]

Sounds to me like he almost committed suicide by Nork proxy.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Media blaming president for his death in 3 ... 2 .... 1

[McCarthysGhost]

We need to get a hold of the leadership of that criminal regime fat boy and all the top brass and give them the sadam treatment.

[baysider]

Rest in peace, Otto.
May God console your loving family and friends.

[JudyinCanada]

There was a time when a small country with an even smaller dictator would NEVER do this to an American. Never.
