American student detained in North Korea dies

Otto Warmbier, 22, returned home to Ohio after being imprisoned for more than 17 months, but died days later "surrounded by his loving family," his family said in a statement.

We seriously need to ban Nk as a travel ban, but the guy was krazy doing that, even the tour dude told him that if u are stealing or doing any such crime, you would be punished or even die. And the guy still did it? Lesson learned not play with the Nk

This is why we are lucky to live where we live.. it was a fuckin poster.

Why would he even do that. I'm so confused. I feel bad for him and his family and friends but, has he never watched anything on North Korea before going there.

[petezereeah]

There should be a travel ban to North Korea. Some wealthy people think they live in a bubble of protection. Ask this kid's family if North Korea agrees with that. Some people have to be protected from themselves.

[chanelgez]

my thoughts are with his family R.I.P

[Redactedredacted]

He got himself killed for going in the first place.

The lack of sympathy for a dead person is disgusting. Poor man, poor family and a really sad end.

[nitaz]

we need to save the other Americans held hostage there first before having a travel ban

[deeeeeee]

I'm terrified after watching this video, , I'm always thinking about this. Rest in Peace😭😭😭😭

Sorry folks, when you go to other countries, you play by their rules or you can get badly hurt and Otto Warmbier is proof of that.

[nomperfect]

This is s wrong, they know what they did, and you people that are agreeing with this young mans death are just as heartless as these leaders, just as evil and self concerned. You think you're safe here in you're homes behind the screen, busy don't care that this mans life has been brutally taken away from him. I can't beleive how heartless people have become.

[zkfkdob]

Why would North Korea do that for stealing a poster?

[ghostboymylo]

Thank god they made a travel ban at North Korea

[micktaylor]

1:40 Please no! I can't watch this....Oh god!

[ChryI]

If you watch the footage, you can clearly see that the person stealing the poster was not Mr Warmbier.

[sandyrak-salerno]

Ok he messed up, and he paid for it. Wasn't it enough just keeping him in jail or forced working camp? This went way beyond limits. No one deserves to die for what he did. Why didn't the US do something to save the poor guy? How can the UN let this kind of thing happen without consequence? So sad 🙁

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes...

[avoccado]

Omg he didn’t steal the poster ffs, he was set up and tortured to send a message to America...

[lovinlife]

A horrible lesson in 'If you can't do the time.... DON'T do the crime! My heart goes out to his family!

[lianneh]

Why are people being so fucking mean, i know that he made a mistake and that it's a stupid thing to do but did he deserve to die!! I don't think so and I don't think you shouldn't either, that's just too heartless. everyone makes mistakes.
