The coroner’s report on Otto Warmbier’s death raised more questions about the circumstances surrounding the young man’s passing while contradicting the accounts of his parents.

Warmbier had a number of small scars on his body, but none were severe enough to indicate torture, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer which obtained a copy of the coroner’s report.
