The United States and China held high-level security talks Wednesday where North Korea is expected to be a top issue, especially in the wake of the death of an American college student following his comatose release from the North.
Kenneth Bae, the USA citizen detained by North Korea for two years, says he believes it is possible the late Otto Warmbier could have been tortured during his captivity in the communist country.
The coroner's office has reached no conclusions yet as to the cause of Warmbier's death, but his doctors have said that the young man suffered extensive tissue loss in all regions of his brain, likely due to cardiopulmonary arrest. "There had not been any previous detainment in North Korea that has ended with such tragic finality and we have been struggling to process the result".

Warmbier, wearing a crisp white suit and black bow tie as the class of 2013′s salutatorian at Wyoming High School in OH, gave a almost five-minute speech that included humor, humility, and special focuses on friendship and community.
