He’s “completed his journey home.” So said the family of Otto Warmbier, 22, who died Monday of unknown causes a week after his release from a North Korean prison. Arrested in January 2016 while on a tour, Warmbier was sentenced to 15 years for allegedly stealing a sign. He arrived “unresponsive” with brain damage in Ohio last Tuesday after what Pyongyang called a 15-month coma.
President Donald Trump condemned the “brutality” Warmbier endured, but with North Korea already sanctioned and isolated, there’s little short of war that America can do.
