Nolan Wells, 18, was found dead in the water two days after disappearing during a Fourth of July trip to Horn Island, Mississippi, and a new independent autopsy has **not determined how he died**. Forensic pathologist Dr. Roger Mitchell said the cause and manner of death remain undetermined and that he could not rule out non-accidental factors, while important evidence\u2014including toxicology and parts of the original autopsy\u2014remains unavailable or pending. Wells\u2019 family continues to question the circumstances surrounding his disappearance and is calling for greater transparency, but authorities have not announced any criminal charges and the investigation remains ongoing.
