A coroner's report was unable to identify the cause of the injury, finding no obvious evidence of torture.[2]
Non-invasive internal scans did not find any signs of fractures to his skull.[1]
According to his medical team, brain scans revealed Warmbier had suffered extensive loss of brain tissue throughout his brain, consistent with a cardiopulmonary event that caused the brain to be deprived of oxygen. Doctors said they did not know what caused the cardiac arrest, but that it could have been triggered by a respiratory arrest, while a neurointensive care specialist at the hospital stated that there was no evidence indicating botulism. They said physicians found no evidence of physical abuse or torture; scans of Warmbier's neck and head were normal outside of the brain injury.[49][5][51][50][52]
After his parents requested his feeding tube be removed, Warmbier died in the hospital.
He was "brutalized and terrorized" by the North Korean regime, his father Fred Warmbier said at the news conference.
