Nolan Wells: No Charges, But His Death Remains Undetermined

18-year-old Nolan Wells disappeared during a Fourth of July boat outing on Horn Island, Mississippi. Two days later, his body was found in the water.

But questions remain. Both the state medical examiner and an independent pathologist listed Nolan’s cause and manner of death as undetermined, and bruising was documented on his body. His family is continuing to seek answers and has called for an independent federal investigation. Pasted markdown
