Preliminary independent autopsy results for Nolan Wells, an 18-year-old whose body was found July 6 along the shoreline of Horn Island off the Mississippi coast, have been released. The cause of death for Nolan Wells has not been determined, according to the results announced Wednesday.
An independent investigator ruled the death to be undetermined pending investigation, family attorney Ben Crump said. The independent autopsy, which was requested by Wells’ family and was privately funded, is separate from the official autopsy performed by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner’s Office on July 7.
Results from the state’s autopsy investigation have not been released, pending the outcome of standard toxicology tests.
