@pbsnews: A new independent autopsy of Nolan Wells found the cause of the 18-year-old’s death is still “undetermined” and foul play cannot be ruled out. Wells' family and attorney Ben Crump announced the findings today at a news conference in Chicago. The teen was found dead off the coast of Mississippi two days after he joined a boat party with friends on the Fourth of July. The Jackson County Mississippi Sheriff’s Office is approaching this case as an accidental drowning, but the results of the official state autopsy, conducted on July 7, have not yet been released. The independent autopsy was conducted by Dr. Roger Mitchell, president of the National Medical Association. “We still have more questions than we have answers," Crump said at the news conference. PBS News' Deema Zein takes a look at what the autopsy found. #nolanwells #bencrump #autopsy #nolanwellscase #mississippi

Everyone who was there knows exactly what happened and for them to be silent and lawyered up means they are guilty.

Pieces of his neck were missing? Maybe the part containing his hyoid bone? That's very suspicious. The redness from the back of his nack could have been bruising and damage from him struggling while someone choked him. Just a theory based on this limited evidence.

You don't get a red mark on your skull from drowning. Justice for Nolan Wells.

I heard they kept his lungs also. The lungs would have determined if he was drowned- the neck would have determined if he had damaged- choked, broken, etc

Definitely more questions than answers — he was found faced down and fully clothed when he was reportedly last seen with shorts on at Horn Island.

It’s common to this case when you’re trying to determine the cause of death and you say he drowned. We was not born last!

$125k? They could offer a bit more than that for a conviction. These are rich ppl he was hanging around with, that might not be enough to temp them.

Thank God for social media, and his mom being able to share that first post about him being missing. This should have never happened, but at least his will help change the future.

If he has water in his lungs, he drowned. If he doesn’t have water in his lungs, he didn’t drown. Let’s start there.
