Q: What does "Saudi Arabia would face "severe punishment" if it is found to be responsible for the columnist's yet-to-be-determined fate" mean?

I would understand the following:
"Saudi Arabia would face "severe punishment" if it is found to be responsible for the columnist's death"

But I don't understand:
"Saudi Arabia would face "severe punishment" if it is found to be responsible for the columnist's yet-to-be-determined fate"

Should someone be responsible and punished for another person's "yet-to-be-determined fate"??

Certain areas of the consulate were to remain off-limits, although officials would be able to inspect surveillance cameras within the post, Turkish media reported.
