Nolan Wells’ second autopsy results ‘hampered’ by several factors: Expert
Key Points:
- A private autopsy on Mississippi teen Nolan Wells found his cause and manner of death to be inconclusive, with further investigation needed, according to Roger Mitchell, president of the National Medical Association.
- Dr. Michelle DuPre explained that the second autopsy faced challenges due to prior handling of the body, including missing neck structures and organs, which hindered determination of possible strangulation.
- Authorities initially ruled out foul play in Wells' death, but experts like Mitchell and DuPre caution that this conclusion was premature without a thorough investigation.
- The Mississippi Medical Examiner’s Office has completed its autopsy but has yet to release the results publicly.
