Otto Warmbier died on Monday near his family home in OH after more than 15 months in North Korean captivity.
Doctors at Cincinnati Hospital said he had brain damage that most likely was caused by deprivation of oxygen, not botulism, which the North Korean government said had caused Warmbier's illness.
A coroner hasn't reached a conclusion about the cause of death for a 22-year-old American college student who died in Cincinnati less than a week after he was released from North Korea in a coma.
Warmbier was visiting North Korea as part of a tour group when he was detained at the Pyongyang airport in January 2016.
It is unclear why the family objected to an autopsy which could answer what happened to Warmbier in the secretive nation.
North Korea's treatment of an American student who died after being released from detention in a coma was inhuman and U.S. patience with Pyongyang is running out, Pentagon chief Jim Mattis said Wednesday.
North Korea must bear "heavy responsibility" for Warmbier's death, said South Korean President Moon Jae-in. He showed no signs of physical violence, and some doctors believe he died from an infection or blood clot, The Inquisitr reported.
Geng said China has played a "positive constructive" role regarding North Korea because it is a responsible member of the worldwide community, and "not because of any pressure from other countries". "And frankly if he were brought home sooner, I think the result would have been a lot different".
"I think the first objective has to be to get the three other Americans out, and get a full explanation of what happened to Otto Warmbier".
Last week, Tillerson told a Senate hearing that China's efforts on North Korea had been "uneven".

"What I hope to achieve by the end of this year is to draw North Korea out to the table for negotiation through the implementation of various and strong sanctions and pressure", he told CBS News at Cheong Wa Dae on Tuesday.
Robertson also said foreigners detained in North Korea are not given better or special treatment, challenging some popularly held claims past detainees were handled benignly by North Korean standards.
Under their proposal, the Treasury Department would be ordered to prohibit all financial transactions related to travel to North Korea by Americans, unless specifically authorized by a USA license.
He says the student, Otto Warmbier, had gone there a healthy man and ended up dead after "a minor act of mischief".
"Well if China is not going to solve North Korea, we will".
The Republican lawmakers were not alone in their anger, as President Trump called the Warmbier family's ordeal a "terrible disgrace".
A public funeral service for a USA 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.
"Clearly, we're moving further away, not closer to those conditions being intact", White House press secretary Sean Spicer said.
The government of China, North Korea's main ally, said Warmbier's death was a tragedy.
The president's declaration marks a potential turn in his administration's strategy on North Korea, which had focused on ramping up global economic and political pressure on Kim, especially from China, on which North Korea's economy relies heavily.
