Welcome back to my blog! Today’s blog, I am conducting a more emotional piece. If you are an American and you follow some sort of social media platform you probably have heard of Otto Warmbier. Well if you haven’t, you probably live under a rock.
Otto Warmbier, was a college student who was detained in North Korea for taking down a propaganda poster. Warmbier was held in North Korea for 17 months until he was finally released and was able to go back to the United States. When he was released to the States, he was in a coma. North Korea stated that they gave him a sleeping pill that made Warmbier become in a vegetative state. Well after being in the states for about a week, Warmbier died June 19, 2017.
In my story I will be addressing why he was arrested and how he died from gathering information from NEWSY. A video that I will be using as a source is: Warmbier Dies After Returning To U.S.
