The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Family attorney Ben Crump is expected to release an independent autopsy report Wednesday for 18-year-old Nolan Wells at the NAACP National Convention in Chicago.
- Wells died after a July 4 boat trip to Horn Island, Mississippi, where he was the only Black member of a group of white friends and the only one who didn't return.
- His death has fueled suspicion and calls for transparency from civil rights leaders including the Rev. Al Sharpton.
- The state's own autopsy remains pending amid a toxicology review, so the independent report may be the first public accounting of how he died.
