New Nolan Wells autopsy finds cause of death ‘undetermined’ #shorts
A new independent autopsy of Nolan Wells found the cause of the 18-year-old’s death is still “undetermined” and foul play cannot be ruled out.
Wells’ family and attorney Ben Crump announced the findings today at a news conference in Chicago. The teen was found dead off the coast of Mississippi two days after he joined a boat party with friends on the Fourth of July. The Jackson County Mississippi Sheriff’s Office is approaching this case as an accidental drowning, but the results of the official state autopsy, conducted on July 7, have not yet been released.
The independent autopsy was conducted by Dr. Roger Mitchell, president of the National Medical Association.
“We still have more questions than we have answers,” Crump said at the news conference.
PBS News’ Deema Zein takes a look at what the autopsy found.
