The father of an American college student, who died after being released by North Korea last year, will reportedly attend the PyeongChang Winter Olympics opening ceremony. 

The Washington Post(WP) said on Sunday that Fred Warmbier, the father of Otto Warmbier, will accompany U.S. Vice President Mike Pence to the opening ceremony of South Korea’s first Winter Games which kick off on Friday. 

According to the WP, Pence’s upcoming five-day trip to South Korea and Japan will be focused on continuing the U.S. pressure campaign on the North. 

The WP said Pence will reiterate U.S. President Donald Trump’s remarks that all options are on the table until the North suspends its nuclear program. 

Warmbier, a University of Virginia student, was arrested by North Korea in Pyongyang in January 2016 for stealing a propaganda poster from a hotel and was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor. He was freed and returned home in a coma last June but died six days after his release.
