Murder, manslaughter, whatever. They're still dirty communists who basically kidnapped one of our doodz.No, it is clear that something happened to him. We don't know if that something was done to him or if it was an accident. Until then, accusing a foreign power of murdering one of your citizens is irresponsible to say the least.
Here's my latest supposition: I think he went into a coma due to respiratory depression from morphine or other painkillers and/or benzos. He probably did get the spit beaten out of him, and because he's a foreigner they probably gave him some kind of painkiller and accidentally screwed up the dosing. They probably let his injuries heal while comatose before releasing him to the US. That, or they screwed up and gave way too much Ativan or whatever other benzo they used to try to sedate him. He was hysterical in the court room and probably remained that way in prison. When people behave like that, you start a sedation routine. There's your "sleeping pill". Nothing else explains an atraumatic hypoxic brain injury given his circumstances. Otherwise, there would be some kind of evidence of bodily harm. Screwing up with narcotics and benzos is really easy to do too. I know someone that survived like 4 different kinds of cancer, including stage 4 cancer, and they wound up dying because some moron nurse administered the IM dose of Ativan through the IV. Talk about a terrible way to go. Medical errors are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US. I wouldn't expect North Korea with their 1950s standards of care to be any better.
edit: for the rest of you guys, a gas chamber wouldn't make sense. Remember, he survived. They kept him alive which means that his hypoxic event couldn't have lasted too long or he would have just died and not been comatose for the entire year. He probably croaked after they screwed up the meds, and by the time they resuscitated him after transporting to medical, he was braindead. The brain is the first thing to go when you stop breathing. It's like a super-finnicky engine running at high RPM constantly. As soon as the fuel mixture gets screwed up, it blows up like a Honda in formula 1.
