McCain clearly has sympathy for Warmbier and his family and what they've endured.
It came as the travel agency that organised Warmbier's North Korea says it will no longer take USA citizens to the country.
The tweet came a day after the death of Otto Warmbier, the American student detained in North Korea for more than a year. Doctors in the United States said his condition was probably caused by a heart attack that cut the blood supply to his brain.
In addition to the external exam, the coroner's office reviewed his medical records from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and AeroMed Management Group, the air ambulance service that helped evacuate him from Pyongyang, North Korea, where he had been detained for almost 17 months.
When asked whether the Trump administration plans to retaliate against North Korea, Spicer said,"We have been very forceful in our political and economic pressure that has been applied in North Korea". Any attempts to pacify the spoiled brat who is running the country should cease.
His family did not give a cause of his death but said in a statement on Monday that the "awful torturous mistreatment" Warmbier endured while in custody meant "no other outcome was possible".
"The result would have been a lot different, but what happened to Otto is a disgrace, and I spoke with his family". In a later tweet he appeared to lament that China's efforts to change North Korea's behaviour have failed.
The organizers of Warmbier's trip say they will no longer take US citizens to the country.
Queen's Speech: Brexit bills dominate government agenda
The previously confirmed state visit by Spain's King Felipe and Queen Letizia in July was mentioned in her speech. But Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said she had lost authority after axing a raft of manifesto pledges.
Last week, his treating physicians in Cincinnati said he suffered from unresponsive wakefulness, a condition also known as persistent vegetative state.
The family of Otto Warmbier has asked that no autopsy be performed on the body of the U.S. student who died days after being evacuated in a coma from North Korean detention.
Trump's stern language was echoed by South Korean President Moon Jae-In, who said in an interview ahead of a White House visit next week that North Korea bears responsibility for the student's death.
"Working with such a country, we must achieve the goal of the complete dismantlement of North Korea's nuclear program".
Warmbier, an OH native and student at the University of Virginia, was arrested in North Korea in January 2016 while visiting as a tourist.
He tweeted "While I greatly appreciate the efforts of President Xi and China to help with North Korea, it has not worked out". "At least I know China tried", Trump wrote.
China-based Koryo Tours, which has been going to North Korea since 1993 and takes about 2,000 tourists there a year, said the tragedy had prompted it to reconsider taking United States citizens to the North.
