[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if he was evaluated as brain dead and the family decided to take him off life support. [/quote]

The doctors said his breathing was not assisted.  I’m not sure what other life support would be needed, other than a feeding tube.  And, it can take a long time to pass when a feeding tube is removed.  [/quote]
Hydration may have been cut off.[/quote]

Or he could have developed aspiration pneumonia due to not being able to manage his secretions. Does it really matter? I'm sure his parents and doctors made the best decisions they could for him based on his condition and what they thought he would have wanted.

I hope the GOP follows through on banning tourist travel to North Korea, or that Trump issues an executive order. But of course they came out immediately following Warmbier's arrival home and announced restrictions on [i]Cuba[/i], because we must always pick on Cuba. They've never killed an American in their prisons, and they've extradited a fugitive pedophile and returned three abducted kids and arrested the absconding parent, but somehow we should ban travel there and not to North Korea. Totally illogical. [/quote]

The Cuba decision is a discussion for another thread. 
I would LOVE for the president to issue an EO prohibiting travel to NK.  But, someone would undoubtedly take it to court and it would be struck down.  
We need to get the other 3 prisoners home.  ASAP.  [/quote]
