Independent autopsy on Nolan Wells to be released at NAACP convention

Family attorney Ben Crump is set to reveal findings from an independent autopsy on 18-year-old Nolan Wells at the NAACP National Convention in Chicago on Wednesday. Wells died following a July 4 boat trip to Horn Island, Mississippi, under circumstances that have drawn public scrutiny. He was the only Black individual among a group of white friends on the trip and the only one who did not return. The state's official autopsy remains incomplete, pending a toxicology review. Civil rights figures, including the Rev. Al Sharpton, have called for greater transparency into the circumstances of his death.
