"The fact that Warmbier died suddenly in less than a week just after his return to the USA in his normal state of health indicators is a mystery to us as well", he said. Through statements on KCNA, North Korea said it dealt with him according to its domestic laws and worldwide standards.
The two-time contestant of "Celebrity Apprentice" also used the interview to encourage President Trump to make more of an effort with North Korea.
According to his source in Pyongyang, he had wrapped his shoes in newspaper that had images of ruler Kim Jong-Un while packing.
"I was just so happy to see the kid released", Rodman said on ABC's "Good Morning, America". It said that the USA doctors who traveled to North Korea to retrieve Warmbier "recognized that his health indicators like pulse, temperature, respiration and the examination result of the heart and lung were all normal and that we provided him with medical treatment and brought him back alive whose heart was almost stopped".
"There is just no other explanation for a healthy 22-year-old - then a 21-year-old - would end up in a permanent coma and then death".

While the actions of Kim Jong-un's regime infuriate the Trump administration, Chang says increased North Korean aggression is simply a result of the US doing virtually nothing in response to provocations for decades.
Rodman said he did not meet with Kim on this trip, and that he was trying "to get to communicate sports-wise".
The North Korean official denied that the country had tortured Warmbier, contending that the 22-year-old left North Korea in "his normal state of health indicators", and that his death is a "mystery".
They say they didn't realize that Warmbier was essentially brain dead when he arrived back home in Ohio.
"We sing karaoke", Rodman added of their relationship.
Rodman is feeling the major blowback and insisting, "I didn't know that he was sick". The general manager of Koryo Tours, Simon Cockerell, who has been to North Korea more than 160 times, said in an email that the company pays "particular attention to detail when it comes to ensuring those traveling to North Korea with us are fully prepared and informed as to the risks and regulations involved". "It's nearly just trying to reach out for sports and see if I can bring sports to North Korea", Rodman said. "Michael went into it knowing that this was a moment", a source said.
