Jailed Otto Warmbier flown out of North Korea 'in coma'
Warmbier, a student at the University of Virginia, was
arrested for tryng to steal a propaganda banner from a wall in a North
Korean hotel during a visit.
He was detained at the airport as he was leaving the country with a tour group in January 2016.
Bill Richardson, a veteran former diplomat and politician who has played a role in past negotiations with North Korea, welcomed Warmbier's release but said "we are deeply concerned regarding his health".
Tillerson told US senators at the start of a budget hearing
that the State Department had no comment on Mr Warmbier's condition,
"out of respect for him and his family."
