President Trump suggested the Obama administration has blood on its hands for mishandling the efforts to secure the release of University of Virginia student Otto Warmbier, who died Monday after a almost year-and-a-half imprisonment in North Korea.
Otto Warmbier, who was medically evacuated from North Korea to his OH home last week, had been in a coma.
When a senior United States official visits North Korea, it is usually taken as a sign that tensions between the adversaries are easing somewhat.
U.S citizen Otto Warmbier who was arrested while on a tourist visit to North Korea in January 2016 has died following his release from prison, The Washington Post reports. Whether that treatment included rotten food, unsafe pharmaceuticals and neglectful medical treatment, or brutal beatings that finally put Warmbier into a coma, North Korea is responsible for Warmbier's death.

Fred Warmbier, father of Otto Warmbier, speaks during a news conference after his son returned to the U.S. last week. "At least I know China tried!" the U.S. president said.
"Obviously, China has played and can continue to play a greater role in helping to resolve this situation, and we will continue to hopefully build on the relationship and the dialogue that we've had with China", Spicer said.
"I think we should strongly consider it", Corker said, per the AP.

The BBC, also citing sources close to the team, said Kaltenborn had been in disagreement with owners Longbow Finance. Kaltenborn was made principal in 2012 - the first woman in F1 in such a role, to replace team founder Peter Sauber .
A public funeral service for a US student who was detained in North Korea and eventually released in a coma has been scheduled for Thursday at his hometown high school in Ohio.
The Republican lawmakers were not alone in their anger, as President Trump called the Warmbier family's ordeal a "terrible disgrace".
Though North Korea has claimed that Warmbier's coma was due to botulism and a sleeping pill, his family and doctors have rejected it. He spent 17 months in North Korea as a prisoner after stealing a propaganda poster from his hotel room.
He died Monday afternoon at a hospital in Cincinnati, surrounded by family members and friends.
White House officials said Otto Warmbier's death reinforces the fact that North Korea is an outlaw regime that is out of control.
The South Korean government meanwhile pledged to make every effort for the return of three other USA citizens, who are ethnic Koreans, and six South Koreans, who remain in custody in North Korea. "The results would have been a lot different", Trump said. -North Korean tensions aggravated by dozens of North Korean missile launches and two nuclear bomb tests since past year in defiance of U.N. Security Council resolutions.
Moon said that while "we can not know for sure that North Korea killed Mr Warmbier".
CINCINNATI (AP) - A cause of death hasn't been determined for a 22-year-old college student who was detained for almost a year and a half in North Korea before being sent home in a coma, an OH coroner's office said Tuesday.
