Funeral Services for Otto Warmbier

(Cincinnati) Hundreds lined the streets with blue ribbons tied to trees and fence posts. Friends, family and members of the community gathered today at Wyoming High School for a final farewell to Otto Warmbier.

Mourners filled the auditorium, cafeteria, sidewalks and streets, paying tribute to the 22-year-old man who died this week after spending 17 months in North Korean captivity.

Among those attending the service, Ohio Senator Rob Portman, who described Otto as a smart, kind-hearted young man who was detained and mistreated by a regime with no regard for the law and basic human dignity.

Otto was returned to the U.S. last week in a coma. Doctors say he had suffered severe brain damage. He's been laid to rest at Oak Hill Cemetery.
