The death of Nolan Wells has taken a new turn after a grand jury said it will not bring criminal charges against anyone in the death of a Mississippi teenager. Nolan Wells was found dead two days after a boating trip with friends on 4 July. The judgement of the jury was announced after reviewing the official autopsy and other evidence in the highly publicized case that has sent shockwaves in the United States.
The Mississippi State Medical Examiner’s Office could not determine how the 18-year-old died or what caused his death. His body was found two days after he disappeared during a July 4 boat trip to Horn Island with friends. An independent autopsy hired by his family also could not determine the cause or manner of death. “The Grand Jury finds that the position of, the condition of, time of discovery, and location of Mr. Wells’ body is consistent with drowning,” according to the grand jury report filed Friday in Jackson County.
