Per CNN

quote:

The 22-year-old contracted botulism and is in "bad shape" but en route back to the United States, a source close to the family told CNN. "Otto has left North Korea. He is on Medivac flight on his way home. Sadly, he is in a coma and we have been told he has been in that condition since March of 2016. We learned of this only one week ago," said Fred and Cindy Warmbier in a statement.

Cannot, for the life of me, figure out why someone wouldn't want to go there.

Don't go to totalitarian shitholes and definitely don't try anything cute if you are dumb enough to disregard that advice.

In fairness, he's been getting North Korean medical care for a year. He may just need some antibiotics.

But I'm repeatedly told free healthcare = best healthcare. He'd be 6 feet if he had that evil imperialistic capitalism healthcare

I'm in healthcare and think free healthcare is stupid AF, but this example is ludicrous.

He'd be fine if this happened in Canada.

Also, this kid is probably fricked. His brain probably has severe damage from swelling and I'm sure the ingredients going through his feeding tube have led to malnutrition on top of this which worsen everything.

I remember the story that came out about this guy was really fishy. He had some phony speech he gave about the CIA using him through some club at the U of Virginia to spy on North Korea. It was obvious that the North Koreans made him say it.

Also I read it wasn't the first time he had gone there

While I'm certain he was coerced into giving that statement, I'm still not ruling out him being used by the CIA.

I just went back and reread his statement. I like that he read it word for word, which clearly shows that he didn't write it.
