Otto Frederick Warmbier (December 12, 1994 – June 19, 2017) was an American university student who, while visiting North Korea as a tourist in January 2016, was arrested and sentenced to 15 years of hard labor after being accused of stealing a propaganda poster from his hotel lobby.
The United States made diplomatic efforts to seek Warmbier's release.
Two months after his imprisonment, Warmbier suffered a major medical crisis that caused severe neurological injury.
He was released in June 2017, after nearly 18 months in captivity. North Korean authorities said Warmbier's coma was a result of botulism and a sleeping pill, although U.S. physicians found no evidence of botulism. Warmbier arrived in Cincinnati, Ohio, on June 13 and was taken to University of Cincinnati Medical Center for immediate evaluation and treatment.
Warmbier died on June 19, 2017, six days after his return to the United States,[4] where some U.S. officials blamed North Korea for his death. He was one of 16 American citizens detained by North Korea since 1996, including three who are still in custody.
REST IN PEACE WARMBIER
