The parents of Ohio native Otto Warmbier have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against North Korea, saying its government tortured and killed their son. 

Fred and Cindy Warmbier seek compensation for the death of Otto, who was arrested in January 2016 for stealing a propaganda poster and sentenced to 15 years in prison. He died in June 2017, days after he was returned to the Cincinnati area with severe brain damage.
