    I remember the autopsy revealed something they didn’t understand. It was as if he lived long term in a low oxygen environment. No one understand how that’s possible and given the fact there was no signs of torture there was more questions than answers. One doctor stated “it’s as if he liven in a room with almost no air, very bizarre”

    Admired how Stephen Park does interview. Fluent in English and Korean with deep understanding of US and Korean culture and most importantly, do not incite and calm, and ask thorough questions, leading interviewees to inform the audience.

    Man just casually exposed how NK has advanced bioweapons. Truly terrifying.

    I can only imagine. If they are convinced they are releasing a spy alive but don't want to release secrets and also don't want a full on war.... some method of slow silencing would make logical sense as a tactic despite being incredibly unethical and messed up. Having him pass away on home soil is the least dramatic outcome politically but my heart breaks for him and his friends and family. 💔 The whole thing is just awful in every way.

    This guy actually makes sense. Otto can't be a witness.

    Very well constructed interview. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the matter. Otto and his family are forever in our hearts. I'm so sorry they lost their son

    Why anyone would voluntarily visit an evil, souless empire like North Korea is beyond me. R.I.P. Otto. Congrats to the interviewer for escaping.

    At one point I wanted to visit that place to see it for myself, I'm glad someone talked me out of that idea. I was about the same age as Otto.

    Sad what happened to Otto. Why would someone even think going to N Korea. I would not step a foot there. Not for any reason

    NOTE TO SELF: Vacationing in North Korea is a very bad idea.

    Very Sad, Thank You for your program.

    I spent 6 months interviewing the men who rescued Otto Warmbier, with the exception of Joe Yun, who wouldn't talk to me. The bottom line is that no one will ever know. Full stop. The likely scenario was that he was administered a CNS depressant, then had a cardiac arrest from respiratory depression and was resuscitated but had anoxic brain injury. The North Koreans gave some possibility of botulism but that was unlikely. They submitted that he had received some analogue to Benadryl(antihistamine) and oral calamine. Oral Calamine doesn't exist in North America and the antihistamine was some North Korean Variant. Of Course anaphylaxis is also possible, but we won't know that. The pan scans revealed in America revealed nothing. MRI and nerve conduction tests did not corroborate anything. The coroner could come to no definite conclusion, but a true autopsy wasn't conducted. Many of the findings of torture may not be found over a year out but This scenario is somewhat consistent with what this North Korean Defector says( but he wasn't directly involved).

    Thanks for the second half of the interview and what he says really reminds me of the stories of what my late father told me about what the communists in Vietnam did to torture and force people to confess to things they did not do and so much more. One of the things they did was starve people which was cruel but common. Injecting poison was not surprising either and that was what my family suspected as well. I feel so bad for him and his family and hope that Otto is in a happier and better place wherever he is at now. So tragic…. Hopefully no one will ever risk their life in North Korea again. I feel so bad for the citizens of North Korea. Hopefully there is a day they can live a happy, free and prosperous life.
