Otto Warmbier Dies After Returning To U.S.

The student had been detained in North Korea for 15 months.

Otto Warmbier, the former University of Virginia student who returned home to the U.S. last week after spending more than a year imprisoned in North Korea, died on Monday afternoon, his family said.

“Unfortunately, the awful torturous mistreatment our son received at the hands of the North Koreans ensured that no other outcome was possible beyond the sad one we experienced today,” his parents said in a statement.

He landed in the U.S. on June 13 unable to speak, see or react to verbal commands, the statement added.
