Coroner said he was in a coma from lack of oxygen for too long. Yeonmi Park on the recent Joe Rogan podcast said at one point, that a method of torture in North Korea is being placed in an air tight room, and they pull most the oxygen out of that room until you are at deaths door. If I had to put my money on a specific way Otto passed, I would put it on him being put into one of those rooms.(just because the coroner couldn't see any concrete signs of physical torture, the circumstances kind of match).

they said he had brain damage he must got it when he goes hey let go to north korea and have some fun

[@damariusbanford1112]

What about when his mother said that once the got to see him in the plane, he had a scream of pain once awakened. They said it looked as if he was tortured and his teeth look like they were taken out and put back in different areas which was causing so much pain and inability to eat. Smh

It seems to me the parents were lying. Research what the actual doctors said.

[@connorminney4691]

Sounds like a suicide attempt after the sentencing. Someone intervened in time to save him, but brain death from asphyxiation had already set in.

[@nunya1360]

That doesn’t explain his deformities and injuries.

[@helterskelter4every1]

Most likely, not suicide, at least not by hanging. His hyoid bone was not broken (the bone in your neck that snaps with only a few pounds of pressure and kills you fairly fast when you try to hang yourself). How could he have asphyxiated himself in a hotel room without breaking this bone? He most likely would have needed access to some sort of plastic, which, besides a shower curtain, would be difficult to get ahold of in a hotel room. But that’s not the only reason, the most important reason why I don’t think it was suicide is bc the NK government would have LOVED to have had this excuse. It certainly would have taken a whole lot of pressure off of them if they could have proven suicide. Nice and neat for them to say “see? We didn’t do this, he did it to himself, we did absolutely everything we could to save his life”.

People really need to understand this young man did not take down the poster! Him and his friends were not even back at the hotel at that time, and did not get back until at least an hour or 2 after the incident had taken place. A friend of his who was there with him and is now a teacher has proof of the timings.

[@roadrunner9622]

Are you sure? There is literally video of him taking the poster. And if the DPRK were going to make something up about him, they would have made it something serious, to justify their actions.

I am honestly thankful that I was not born in North Korea but in Serbia, even though my country is doing pretty bad economically and has a psudo-dictator in Vucic something like this does'nt happen. This is insane, I can't believe such a country exists honestly it reminds me of my OCD.

They made it clear how fond of beatings the police are. Even though it's supposed to be hands off once they find out you are a foreigner, I'd still bet some slip up in that department, and beatings can go wrong.

You guys should cover a story of some of Western defectors that went to live in NK as they thought it was a better life. There are some stories like that out there of those that ran from wars and went to NK to live.

If you're interested to find out what the locals have gone through in those camps, especially the prisoner kids, you may want to read Escape from Camp 14 by Blaine Harden. Perhaps it's only one of the many camps, but it's brutal indeed.

[@roadrunner9622]

@@jonathandpg6115 That is a real problem. I used to be completely fooled by the writings of defectors from many different countries. Of course those countries really are horrible and abusive, but it seems almost all defectors exaggerate, or at least leave out details about how they avoidably brought the situation on themselves.
